A54146No more are we: It was not what they thought of you, or enacted against you, that concluded you: And why should your Apprehensions conclude us?
A54146Now upon the whole we seriously ask, Whether any should be Impo''d upon, or Restrain''d, in matters of Faith and Worship?
A54146The single Question is not, Were you at such a Meeting?

A54146What can not they better spare then it?
A54146What if you think our Reasons thick, and our ground of Separation mistaken?
A54146What is this, but to impose an uncertain Faith upon Certain Penalties?

A54146What''s dearer to them then the Liberty of their Conscience?
A54146Whether such Practices become the Gospel, or are sutable to Christs Meek Precepts and Suffering Doctrine?
A54146You perswaded as few of them, as we of you: Were you therefore in the Wrong?
A54146or that the same Reasons do not yet remain in vindication of an Indulgeance for others, that were once Employ''d by you for your selves?
A48867And will you suppose they will do so no more?
A48867Are all the Church of England cruel merciless Persecutors, because some of them are so( and that not a few of them neither)?
A48867Are they Droans that live by the sweat of other mens Brows; or rather, are they not painful and industrious, addicted to Trade and Manufactories?
A48867Are they all Debauched, or guilty of Adultery, Atheism, Blasphemy, and Murther?
A48867Are they all Socinians?
A48867Besides, who shall Elect such great numbers of Papists, and where will they be Chosen?
A48867Can you desire again to be in bondage, even whilst your Wounds are bleeding fresh, and your Backs soar with the Lashes you received from them?
A48867Is he not willing and desirous that an equal Liberty to all should grow up with, and be twisted in his Government?
A48867Is not a great part of the Trade of the Nation managed by them, whereby the Poor are imployed, His Majesties Customs and Revenues increased?
A48867Is that lawful, commendable, or a Vertue in you, which is hateful, wicked, and abominable in others?
A48867Shall we, that have wofully experienced the verity hereof, approve the contrary, or in any measure contract this Guilt?
A48867Were there no Ministers Silenced, nor persons Executed, Banished, or Imprisoned before your days?
A48867Where is that person of any Note or Figure in the World, that would be so used for his kindness and benignity?
A48867and if so, by what Laws?
A48867and who were the Authors or Actors therein?
A48867are your Sufferings the first persecution by these Laws?
A48867doth he not establish his Throne on that Basis?
A48867hath he ever Brow- beaten any man for his Opinion?
A48867hath he ever solicited any man to change his Opinion and become Roman Catholique, to increase his Party?
A48867hath he made any Limitations or Restrictions therein, to exclude any for their Religious Sentiments?
A48867hath he not laid the greatest Obligations on Himself, to assure the whole World that he will be true and steady thereunto?
A48867or what reason is there for his frequent solemn Promises to make it good?
A48867what need else was there of publishing those Reasons, since a bare Indulgence without them, might have served a Turn?
A48867what then means the many Petitions and Apologies against them, made by Dissenters in each Kings Reign since they were first Enacted?
A48867who, or where is the instance of this kind?
A48123And that in fine, they should again publickly adore those vain Idols?
A48123And where is the Protestant who would buy Liberty of Conscience at so dear a rate, and not rather choose to continue deprived of it all his Life?
A48123And whosoever Suffers and Approves the King in the Violation of these Rights in some things, does he not thereby Authorise him to violate them in all?
A48123And with what inhumanity she spilt the Blood of her most faithful Subjects to accomplish that design?
A48123And yet after all, what scruple was there made to violate so many Laws, so many Promises, and so many Oaths?
A48123Are not the Rights of the People concerned in the one, as well as in the other?
A48123But above all, could you resolve by your Conduct to condemn that of those generous Confessors?
A48123Can you doubt of this, Gentlemen?
A48123How many Declarations, how many Edicts did he set out to that purpose?
A48123How many Oaths were taken to confirm those Edicts?
A48123How often did our King promise us to preserve us in our Priviledges?
A48123Is this the Acknowledgment which you ought to have made to them for that Charity, with which they had received and comforted you in your Exile?
A48123Is this the Act of Faithful Ministers of Christ?
A48123Is this to Answer the Glorious Quality of Confessors, of which you so much vaunt your selves?
A48123Should they for enjoying a Liberty of Conscience so ill assured, shut their Eyes to all other Considerations?
A48123Were not both the one and the other made for the Security of the Protestant Religion, and of those who profess it?
A48123Were they not both established by the King and Parliament?
A48123Would you indeed, Gentlemen, see England once more submitted to the tyranny of the Pope, whose Yoke it so happily threw off in the last age?
A48123You who so lately came from making a sad Experiment of it?
A48123himself solemnly promise by several Edicts and Declarations to maintain us in all the Liberties which were granted to us by the Edict of Nantes?
A54244( thus far S.S.) Are not they my proper Judges by the Great Charter of England?
A5424413?
A54244And why?
A54244Answer, Surely our Author had but a small stock of courage, that it should fail him in writing half a dozen Lines, What?
A54244But granting what is said, to be true: Was he accused of Temporizing when a Boy at Cambridge?
A54244But what then?
A54244But why an Hellish One?
A54244But why the FLOWER of the English Army?
A54244Did ever man so Brute himself in Print?
A54244Did he, or any else, ever hear us pretend to own another Light, then in the Phrases, and from the Scriptures before mentioned?
A54244Did not the Lievtenant of the Tower render One of them worse then a Fellon?
A54244Doubtless the Man was toucht: What course Similitudes are these?
A54244How many times do the Scriptures commemorate God and Christ by this Epethite?
A54244Is W. Penn guilty of the matter whereof he stands indicted, in Manner and Form, or not guilty?
A54244Is this according to the Fundamental Laws?
A54244It is intollerable that my Jury should be thus menaced?
A54244The Infererence the Libellers make, is, what doth this but justifie that hellish design of the Papists, to have prevented the first Reformation?
A54244Their main Objection is, That if the Justices be not Judges of Law, How comes it to pass that the Iury asks the sence of the Law at their Mouthes?
A54244Therefore when they brought me in Not Guilty, had they perjudred themselves?
A54244This does but still aggravate: How much S.S. is an Enemy to all truth, What if the Door was broken open?
A54244Was he a Justice or no?
A54244Was he therefore no Temporizer?
A54244Was it unreasonable then, and is it reasonable now?
A54244What hope is there of ever having Justice done, when Juries are cheek ▪ t, and their Verdicts rejected?
A54244What man in his Wits would not despise the Folly and Meanness of this wretched Pedagoge?
A54244What say you?
A54244What, was it not an unlawfull Assembly?
A54244What?
A54244What?
A54244What?
A54244When W. Mead askt R. Brown, What he did there?
A54244],[ London?
A54244and do you not plainly seem to condemn such for factious Fellows, who answer not your Ends?
A54244can the nature of a Persecuting Act be changed, because the Parties in point of power be?
A54244had not the Quakers( in Justice and Equity) right to the Place?
A54244or that such a Child is one thousand ninety and five Dayes, Or three Years old: Does Or suppose a Different Age?
A54244therefore must they not be Iudges of Law, so far as concerns the Fact?
A31366''t is true( said he) there are Laws against Blasphemers; but what is this to the purpose, except it can be proved that Hereticks are Blasphemers?
A31366And can not the true Church now subsist, with that which she had in the Begining?
A31366And how shall the Magistrate be assured of the Odiousness of the Blasphemy, and Crimes?
A31366And what is this reconciling slaughter, with slaughter, and blood with blood, but the manner and custome of the Heathen?
A31366And who are obstinate and stiff- necked Hereticks, or constant upright Christians?
A31366But suppose the Magistrates should refer this to the Divines or Clergy( said he) to judge of, what more assurance shall they have than the Magistrate?
A31366But who can produce a Law out of the holy Scripture, that requires Hereticks to be put to Death?
A31366For how shall a man know a Heretick but by knowing the Cause, whereby a man is made a Heretick?
A31366How think''st thou shall they be able to Pay all the Customes, Taxes, Dues, Rights, and Assessments,& c. that are required in thee of thy Inhabitants?
A31366In summa, Was that notable overturning and remarkable change, which of late happened in thee, to this end?
A31366Or how can this work of tumultuous Teachers, bring honour to Gods Word and his Truth?
A31366Or was the Church of the Apostles no Church?
A31366Or what external Power, or outward defence had their Church in the Beginning?
A31366Or who is there in thee that will willingly relieve and maintain such, if external Poverty should overtake them?
A31366Through what impudency dare you judge them to Death( saith Castellius) that profess the name of Christ?
A31366Were thy Bishops reinstalled to exercise Lordship over Gods Heritage, and to augment the Sufferings of the afflicted in thee?
A31366Were thy high, notional pretended gifted Priests ejected, that they that are more Lewd and Prophane, might be brought in?
A31366What coercive Power or outward Protection had they?
A31366Who Teach according too, or contrary to the Scripture?
A31366Who are moved of God, or by his own Zeal?
A31366Who are wounded and judged in themselves, and who are not?
A31366Who believe well or Evil?
A31366Who do according to a good Conscience or contrary?
A31366Who hath heretofore defended the Church of Christ, was it defended by Pilate?
A31366Yet greater havock and spoile to make of the Saints, and of their Substance, than their Predecessors did?
A31366],[ London?
A31366alas for thee, how shalt thou avoid the Wrath that is to come, or escape the Hand of the Lord?
A31366for who will believe that all these who at this day are crlled Hereticks, are Blasphemers and ungodly Men?
A31366who hath taught you the matters of Religion, of which you are most ignorant?
A9179011 Whether the servants of the Lord are not forbidden to strive, but to be gentle towards all?
A9179012 Whether the Saints weapons against errors, be carnall or no?
A9179013 Whether it was not Christs command, that his Disciples when they were persecuted, they should pray; and if cursed, blesse?
A9179015 Whether Christ hath said, He will have an unwilling people compelled to serve him?
A9179016 Whether ever God did plant his Church by violence and blood- shed?
A9179017?
A9179019 Whether he that is not conformable to Christ, may not at the same time bee a good subject to the State, and as profitable to it as any?
A917902 Whether carnall punishments can produce any more then a carnall repentance and obedience?
A9179023 Whether men heretofore have not in zeale for religion, persecuted the Son of God, in stead of the son of perdition?
A9179024 Whether it is not a burden great enough for the Magistrate to govern and judge in civill causes, to preserve the subjects rights, peace and safety?
A9179026 Whether hee is fit to appoint punishments, that is not fit to judge?
A9179030 Whether the Magistrate be not wronged, to give him the Title of Civill Magistrate onely, if his power be spirituall?
A9179031 Whether lawes made meerly concerning spirituall things, be not spirituall also?
A9179032 Whether if no civill law be broken, the civil peace be hurt or no?
A9179033 Whether in compulsion for conscience, not onely the guilty, but the innocent suffer also?
A9179034 Whether such as are spiritually dead, be capable to be spiritually infected?
A9179036 Whether the Scriptures appoint any other punishment to be inflicted upon Heretickes, then rejection and excommunication?
A9179037 Whether freedome of conscience would not joyn all sorts of persons to the Magistrate, because each shared in the benefit?
A9179038 Whether those States( as the Low- Countries,) who grant such liberty, do not live quietly, and flourish in great prosperity?
A9179039 Whether persecution for Conscience doe not harden men in their way, and make them cry out of oppression and tyranny?
A917904 Whether those who would force other mens consciences, be willing to have their own forced?
A9179042 Whether the Saints crave the help of the powers of this world to bring Christ to them, or feare their powers to keep him from them?
A9179043 If no Religion is to be practised, but that which the Common- wealth shall approve on: what if they will approve of no Religion?
A9179047 Whether Jesus Christ, appointed any materiall Prisons for Blasphemers of him?
A9179049 Either the Civill, or the Spiritual State must be supream: which of these must judge the other in spirituall matters?
A917905 Whether it be wisdome and safe to make such sole Judges in matte ● s of Religion, who are not infallible, but as liable to erre as others?
A917907 Whether the Scripture makes the Magistrate Judge of our faith?
A91790And if a Magistrate bee in darknesse, and spiritually blind, and dead; bee fit to judge of light, of truth and error?
A91790And whether all such as have gone to them to licence the truth ought not to repent of it, and do so no more?
A91790And whether it can be made appeare, that God hath revealed his truth first to these Ministers of England, and so the first spreaders of it?
A91790Had not he as good live as he list; as live as you list?
A91790In my judgment, your judgment is a lye: will ye compell me to believe a lye?
A91790Instance, who opposed the Prelats, the Ministers, or the people; first?
A91790VVHether corporall punishments can open blind eyes, and give light to dark understandings?
A91790Whether it be best for us to put out our eyes, and see by the eyes of others who are as dim- sighted?
A91790and whether God calls such to that place, whom he hath not furnished with abilities for that place?
A91790and whether such be fit for the place of the Magistracy?
A91790compell ye a man to be present at a worship which he loaths?
A91790how should they have come in?
A91790shal men have no Religion at all?
A91790then whether it be not a scruple to a tender conscience to submit to such in civill causes, because not appointed to that place by God?
A62565And are they not designed by God for their Instruction, and read either to that purpose, or to none?
A62565And is it possible to instruct Men by what they do not understand?
A62565And what is, if this be not, to shut the Kingdom of Heaven against Men?
A62565And why may they not be used by the People for those Ends for which they were given?
A62565Are the Scriptures so useful and profitable for Doctrine, for Reproof, for Instruction in Righteousness?
A62565Are these directed to God, or to the People only?
A62565But are they in earnest?
A62565But is this all that is intended in the Service of God?
A62565But then what say they to the Lessons and Exhortations of Scripture, which are likewise read to the People in an unknown Tongue?
A62565But what harm were it, if all they that pray understood it also: Or indeed, how can men pray to God without understanding what they ask of him?
A62565Convenient for them, for God, or for the People?
A62565For how can they be said to be publick Prayers if the People do not join in them?
A62565Hath God forbidden the People to look into the Scriptures?
A62565How comes the Case now to be so altered?
A62565If it be enough for the Priest to understand them, why should not the Priest only be present at them?
A62565If they are not, why do they deceive and delude them?
A62565Is God less honoured by them?
A62565Is it good that People should understand their private Prayers?
A62565Is it necessary for Men to understand any thing they do in Religion?
A62565Is it not all one, as to all purposes of Edification, as if the Scriptures were not read, or any thing else in the place of them?
A62565Is not Prayer a part of the Christian Worship?
A62565Is there less of Religion in publick Prayers?
A62565Must not Men know the Truth for fear of falling into Errour?
A62565No, quite contrary: Was it the Practice of the Antient Church to lay this restraint upon Men, or to celebrate the Service of God in an unknown Tongue?
A62565Or are we not as capable of being Edified and of having our hearts and affections moved and incited by them?
A62565Suppose the reading of the Scriptures hath been the occasion of Heresies, were there ever more than in the first Ages of Christianity?
A62565The Scriptures are the Word of God; and from whence can we learn the Will of God so well as from his own Mouth?
A62565Were not People then liable to Errour, and was there no danger of Heresy in those Times?
A62565Were there no difficulties and obscurities then in the Scriptures, capable of being wrested by the Unstable and unlearned?
A62565Where then lies the Difference?
A62565Why does the Church doubt to follow so great an Authority, or rather how dares she to dissent from it?
A62565Why should reasonable Creatures be treated at this rude and barbarous rate?
A62565and how can they join in that they do not understand?
A62565and how should they learn when they do not understand?
A62565and is any Service reasonable that is not directed by our Understandings, and accompanied with our Hearts and Affections?
A62565and to what purpose are Lessons of Scripture read, if People are to learn nothing by them?
A62565does not St. Paul expresly require more?
A62565that( we thank them) they allow, and why not the publick as well?
A65392And will he be favourable no more?
A65392Being farther demanded, how they came so many of them, to be so suddenly agreed in so weighty and doubtful a case?
A65392By the Law of works?
A65392By what Law?
A65392Can you show a warrant for them?
A65392Did he not make himself a party on the other side, by often using these and the like words, We, Us?
A65392Do I entertain, or maintain them in their actions, wherein they stand against any thing that God hath appointed?
A65392Do you ask me upon point of Conscience?
A65392Have you countenanced, or will you justifie those Seditious practises which have been censured here in this Court?
A65392How hardly will they submit to such Over- seers?
A65392How shall they cohabit and trade together?
A65392If Christ be my Sanctification, what need I look to any thing in myself, to evidence my Iustification?
A65392If a Man in distress of Conscience, or other temptation,& c. should come and ask your counsel in private, might you not teach him?
A65392It was answered neither, but as suspected only; Then he demanded who were his Accusers?
A65392Men and Brethren, what shall we do?
A65392Must I shew my Name written therein?
A65392None saith, Where is God that made me, which giveth Songs in the night?
A65392Put case I do fear the Lord, and my Parent do not, May not I entertain one that fears the Lord, because my Father will not let me?
A65392She Answered; How did Abraham know that it was the Voice of God, when he commanded him to Sacrifice his Son?
A65392Tantaene animis coelestibus irae?
A65392That is nothing to the purpose, but we can not stand to dispute causes with you now; What say you to your weekly publick Meetings?
A65392To this we reply, first, We would demand of him what he accounts a holding forth a Covenant of Grace?
A65392We are not to Pray against all sin, because the old Man is in us, and must be; And why should we Pray against that which can not be avoided?
A65392We do desire therefore to know of you, whether you will justifie and maintain what is laid to your charge or not?
A65392What Law have they transgressed; the Law of God?
A65392When she had thus vented her Mind, the Court demanded of her, how she expected to be delivered, whether by Miracle as Daniel was?
A65392When they came first unto her, she asked from whom they came, and what was their business?
A65392Where is boasting then?
A65392Why may not the Pastor, upon such grounds, leave his People, as well as they him, considering the Tie is equal on both parts?
A65392Will you please to give me a rule against it, and I will yield?
A65392Would one think that any heavenly Spirit could have breathed so much anger, when an Angel would have given milder language to the Devil himself?
A65392make sides when he proclaimed all to be under a Covenant of works, who did not follow him( step by step) in his description of the Covenant of Grace?
A285946. have not Persecutors alway come to some fearful end?
A28594And dare ye resolutely Provoke the Lord to jealousie, are ye stronger than he?
A28594And for the casting of Daniel into the Lions Den?
A28594And will not God( think you) avenge his own Elect which cry day and night into him?
A28594Are not the Informers and Persecutors of our Days like unto those that were before them?
A28594Are there any so unjust, so False, so exorbitantly Vicious, Lewd, and Debauch''d as they?
A28594But is it not very Unjust to say they are Rebellious, and not prove any thing of this Nature against them?
A28594Can you deny these sufferers?
A28594Can you withhold any thing from Christ, imploring and beseeching your Commiseration in these his afflicted, persecuted Members?
A28594Can you, together with outward Compulsion, infuse into their minds an affectionate Love to, and unfeigned Approbation of our Service and worship?
A28594Contemptible and base in the Eye and Opinion of every Honest, Pious, Good, or Sober Person?
A28594Did ever any set themselves against God and prosper?
A28594How variously and strangely has God testified his Displeasure and Wrath against Persecutors?
A28594I shall now inquire whence it is that wicked Men are such bitter and inveterate Enemies against the Godly?
A28594Is it not because they hope they shall find all precious Substance, and shall fill their Houses with Spoil?
A28594Is it not evident to all that they are notorious for Perjury, Falsness, Drunkenness, Whoredom, Prophane and common Swearing?
A28594Is not this to write after the most extravagant Instance we have in the French Persecutors?
A28594Or who are the Enemies of it?
A28594Suppose you should force many to come within the Doors of our Churches, by harsh and severe Proceedings, what is our Church the better for this?
A28594The learned Bishop of St. Asaph, does determine the Question, who are the Church of God?
A28594Was he not a Covetous Mercenary Son of Perdition?
A28594Were not they Drunkards that were against David, and made Songs of him?
A28594Were they not a couple of perjured Miscreants?
A28594Were they not all Flattering and Abominable Idolaters?
A28594What Clouds do hang over us?
A28594What a vile Character is Ismael all along represented under to us?
A28594What an obdurate Caitiff and Villain was Cain that slew his own Brother, because more Holy, and consequently better accepted with God than he was?
A28594What is the Reason Sinners do excite one another to wait for Blood, and to lurk privily for the Innocent without Cause?
A28594What was Judas that Betrayed Christ, that Informed the High Priests and Scribes against his Master the Son of God?
A28594What were the false Prophets that set themselves against Micaiah?
A28594What were those that swore, and gave Evidence against Christ?
A28594Who were those that were for the Burning of the three Children?
A28594Why could not Herodias suffer John Baptist to keep his Head any longer?
A28594Why do you not inform against them under this Notion, and then prove it substantially against them?
A28594were they not such as did Prophecy Lies?
A34668An Magistratus debet coger ● quenquam ad credendum?
A34668And how can he be said to do this, if he do not by his power take order that they may duly performe the maine duties of piety commanded by God?
A34668And how then doth this willingnesse, and acting out of love, hinder Mag ● strates from making meet Lawes in matters of Religion?
A34668And if a verse or two out of Ovid be the language of H ● ll, what language use you, who alledge a verse of his?
A34668And is there no difference between such a vast toleration, and a just liberty granted unto tender consciences?
A34668And what is the ground of this foule crime?
A34668And why may we not perceive the Keyes to be at length purged and scoured, as well as all the former?
A34668Arrians, Pap ● sts, Hereticks, and Sectaries of any kinde, as well as to be true, sound, and orthodox Christians?
A34668But what are these Offences that Christ saith must needs be?
A34668But what is this against compulsion to renounce the Idolatry of the Beast and all other Idolatry, and to worship God in his true worship?
A34668But who complains of any wrong herin done them, since the things they be constrained to be just and equall, and for the common good?
A34668For first, Who is there of those that I name expr ● sly, that you will have the face to excuse from the blame of an eroneous Sect?
A34668For if Truth in such Liberty may come in, as well as Heresie, why should there any opposition be made against Heresie by spiritual weapons?
A34668For might some say, To what purpose serves such adoe?
A34668How doth the command of the Magistrate, as it is above laid downe, hinder them in Gods service to be a willing people, or to act out of love?
A34668If they must be, and that by Gods permission,& c. must they therefore be suffered to go on without controll or contradiction?
A34668May we nht as well say ▪ Why should there be any preaching, any writing, any praying or disputing against Heresies?
A34668Num quid quia mor ● s optimi libertate voluntatis ● liguntu ●, id ● o mores pessi ● i non legis integritate puniuntur?
A34668Or where doe I speak of captivating all others to our wills?
A34668This is nothing but the sp ● tting of your rancour: For where doe I mention the Sword of the Magistrate in my Epistle?
A34668To what way doe you so eagerly labour to engage the Sword of the Magistrate?
A34668We read of none in the New Testament that were punish ● d for Whoredome, Incest, Perjury, False witnesse bearing, Drunkennesse,& c. What then?
A34668What I pray, because good manners are chosen by a free good- will, shall not therefore bad manners be punished by sound and wholsome lawes?
A34668What are the words that I use to engage the Sword of the Migistrate against any Religion?
A34668What is this but some spice of Goliah''s termagant spirit, who did defie the whole Host of Israel?
A34668What then?
A34668What?
A34668Whence are these loud words concerning our Infallibility?
A34668Whether the Magistrate ought to compell any man to believe?
A34668Which are Arminians, Antinomians, Soule- mortalists, Antisabbatarians, Seekers and Anabaptists, with rigid irreconcileable Seperatists?
A34668and why should not every way as free a liberty be left for one, as for the other?
A34668may not these with your consent be punished by the civil Magistrate?
A34668must there be a free Toleration of these Iniquities?
A34668or must Spirituall weapons onely be used against them to represse them?
A34668to your own or to some other?
A34668— Do''st thou not feale a strength above thine own, And God against thee?
A701754. and what shall the Christian Magistrate learn from those Judiciall laws, but the will of God to be his rule in like cases?
A70175And if so, what a grand imposture is this?
A70175And must you also brethren, give a wound to the body of Christ?

A70175First, they were types of Christ( but by the way how doth he prove that Asa, Jehu, and Josiah were types of Christ?)
A70175Hath not God promised to give us one heart and one way?
A70175Hath not the Mediator( whom the Father heareth alwayes) prayed that all his may be one?
A70175How did the Anabaptists raise and foment the bloudy warre of the Boores in Germany, wherein were killed above 100000 men?
A70175How now, poor Pamphleter?
A70175How shall Christian Magistrates glorifie God more then by observing Gods own laws, as most just, and such as they can not make better?
A70175If it be said, Quorsum haec?
A70175Is Christ divided?
A70175Is it not woven throughout from the top to the bottome?
A70175Is there so much as a seame in all Christs garment?
A70175Lastly, if he would needs storm, why would be not make some new breach?
A70175Let not the Magistrate feare to say to every Achan, Why hast thou troubled us?
A70175Let there be no strife betweene us and you, for we be brethren: and is not the Canaanite and the Perizzite yet in the land?
A70175Next, why did they not prove that it was typicall?
A70175Now therefore what a blockish argument is it, to reason from this Parable against the coercive power of the magistrate in matters of religion?

A70175Shall the troublers of the State be punished, and the troublers of Israel go free?
A70175Well, but why hath he now denyed that Gamaliel made it a doubtfull and uncertain case?
A70175What commotions did the Arrians make in all the Easterne parts?
A70175What non- sense is here?
A70175Will you have one halfe of Israel to follow Tibni, and another halfe to follow Omri?
A70175is it not enough for you to defend a lying tongue, but you will needs defend pride too?
A70175is this to storm Antichrist?
A70175or must we cast off any ordinance of God because of the abuse of it?

A70175what a deceiving of the world?
A70175what a mocking of the Parliament and of the Kingdome?

A860094. and what shall the Christian Magistrate learn from those Judiciall laws, but the will of God to be his rule in like cases?
A86009And if so, what a grand imposture is this?
A86009And must you also brethren, give a wound to the body of Christ?

A33745And being so, what Excuse can there be, why they did not read it?
A33745And do''s his Majesty less than acknowledge it in this Declaration?
A33745And if the Loyalty of the Church of England receive any blemish by it, what can she say, but that she was wounded in the House of her Friends?
A33745And now, when our troubl''d Waters had begun to settle again, what need of whistling up the Winds for another Storm?
A33745And ought not their Practise now, to have made good their Principles?
A33745And the Rents of Lands fallen?
A33745And what greater Assay to it can there be, than Disobedience?
A33745And what is that, but a dispensing with it?
A33745And what would Henry the Eighth have done in such a Case; made use of his last Argument, or thrown up the Game for a few cross Cards?
A33745And why?
A33745But supposing it a matter only cognisable in Parliament, why could not they have held till then, and in the mean time obey''d?
A33745He has in the Word of a King secur''d to them their Religion, Possessions and Properties; And why?
A33745He has pledg''d his Royal Word, and shall we doubt the Truth of it?
A33745No?
A33745No?
A33745Or how then could the Convocation be concern''d in it?
A33745Or that Advice of the present Bishop of Ely to the Church of England, to have been consider''d, and follow''d?
A33745Or that to read any thing in the House of God, is declaring my Consent to it?
A33745Or what made the Jews who had so often acknowledg''d our Savior, turn head against him, and crucifie him?
A33745Or why are they so averse from having them eas''d at present?
A33745That our Neighbors have gotten into our Manufacture?
A33745That our Ships are not so well Mann''d as formerly?
A33745The King has said it, and shall he not perform it?
A33745The Question answers it self: And if the Power of Dispensing with Penal Laws, were not inseparably and unalterably in Him; how could he have done it?
A33745Then why was it not comply''d with?
A33745Vide, utrum Tunica filii tui sit, an non?
A33745What made the Nobles break the Yoak?
A33745What made the People set up Adoniah against David''s disposition of the Crown to Solomon?
A33745What makes us complain of the want of Trade?
A33745Why then have those Penal Laws been executed with so much rigor against them?
A33745c. 1. for using the Common- Prayer in the Vulgar Tongue only: what is meant by it, but that the Queen might lawfully dispense with that Statute?
A33745or must the Kingdom of Heaven be confin''d to a Party?
A41823And doth not these two Words, Wheat and Tares comprehend all mankind?
A41823And how clear is it, that in all Ages it was those that were born after the flesh, that persecuted those that were born after the spirit?
A41823And how plainly walk these in the steps of those, and practise the like things against those that walk in the Spirit and Practice of the Apostles?
A41823And is not this like our case?
A41823And must none take pity of them?
A41823And now, if you would judge the Tree by its Fruits, what can you find of these things in Persecution?
A41823And suppose I did want a right understanding and true Faith,( I say again) do you think that a Prison will help me?
A41823And that which is not of Faith is Sin, is it not?
A41823And what, shall I say you do not know us, who you in scorn call Quakers?
A41823And when they answered, When saw we thee an hungry, thirsty, naked,& c. and did not minister unto thee?
A41823Avoid them, what is that?
A41823But farther, did not Christ command that both Tares and Wheat should grow together?
A41823But instead of a command for Persecution, doth not our Lord Christ prohibit it several times?
A41823Can Prison Walls rectifie mens Understandings?
A41823Can a Prison give Faith?
A41823Can the Prison Walls rectifie my understanding, or give me Faith and Wisdom?
A41823Did ever Christ command the use of a Prison or Fine, or any thing of that nature, to men that would not hear him, nor believe him?
A41823For what?
A41823How like those Priests and Officers are these in our days?
A41823How long shall they utter and speak hard things?
A41823Is this obeying Christ''s command, in laying men in Prison?
A41823Iust Persons,[ mark that] these are none of your Church of miserable Offenders: But let me ask you, Is not Faith the gift of God?
A41823Let me Answer you once more; Suppose you, that the Scripture is to be taken notice of, and the Precepts therein to be minded?
A41823Lord, how long shall the Wicked Triumph?
A41823Seeing I must answer for my self, and stand or fall to my own Master, what have you to do to judge me, who am the Lord''s Servant?
A41823Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord?
A41823Suppose we do, what then?
A41823Well, suppose we were not, you ought to love us, if we were your Enemies; But if we be not your Brethren, why do you take Tythes from us?
A41823What can you make for your Practices here?
A41823What ground have you for this?
A41823What mean ye, that ye beat my People to pieces, and grind the faces of the Poor, saith the LORD God of Hosts?
A41823You pretend to be Protestants, and that that Name first came up by protesting against Imposition; and what, is it now to be practised?
A41823You would not take it well to be forc''d to Conform to us, would you?
A41823doth this grieve you?
A41823shall not my Soul be avenged on such a Nation as this?
A41823where is the Power of Godliness to be seen, if not in the sober, honest Quaker, as you call us?
A48884A Modest Enquiry, Whether St. Peter were ever at Rome, and Bishop of that Church?
A48884Against his Will, do you say?
A48884And if he does it not in order to save them, why is he so so sollicitous about the Articies of Faith as to enact them by a Law?
A48884And if some Religious Meetings be private, Who are they( I beseech you) that are to be blamed for it?
A48884And why a Dog so abominable?
A48884Because there is but one way for me to escape Death, will it therefore be safe for me to do whatsoever the Magistrate ordains?
A48884But if one of these Churches hath this Power of treating the other ill, I ask which of them it is to whom that Power belongs, and by what Right?
A48884But it may be asked, By what means then shall Ecclesiastical Laws be established, if they must be thus destitute of all Compulsive Power?
A48884But some may ask, What if the Magistrate should enjoyn any thing by his Authority that appears unlawful to the Conscience of a private Person?
A48884But what if he neglect the Care of his Soul?
A48884But what if the Magistrate believe such a Law as this to be for the publick Good?
A48884But what shall be done in the mean while?
A48884Can you allow of the Presbyterian Discipline?
A48884Does it therefore belong unto the Magistrate to prescribe me a Remedy, because there is but one, and because it is unknown?
A48884For if it were so, how could it come to pass that the Lords of the Earth should differ so vastly as they do in Religious Matters?
A48884For what hinders but a Christian Magistrate may have Subjects that are Iews?
A48884For, if that had been the Reason, why were the Moabites and other Nations to be spared?
A48884I answer: If this be so, Why are there daily such numerous Meetings in Markets, and Courts of Judicature?
A48884I answer: Is this the fault of the Christirn Religion?
A48884I answer; Why, I pray, against his Will?
A48884If civil Jurisdiction extended thus far, what might not lawfully be introduced into Religion?
A48884If he should bid you follow Merchandise for your Livelihood, would you decline that Course for fear it should not succeed?
A48884If we allow the Iews to have private Houses and Dwellings amongst us, Why should we not allow them to have Synagogues?
A48884Is it not both lawful and necessary that they should meet?
A48884Is it permitted to speak Latin in the Market- place?
A48884Is it permitted to worship God in the Roman manner?
A48884It may be said; What if a Church be Idolatrous, is that also to be tolerated by the Magistrate?
A48884Nor when an incensed Deity shall ask us, Who has required these, or such like things at our hands?
A48884Of what Church I beseech you?
A48884Or, shall every one turn Victualler, or Smith, because there are some that maintain their Families plentifully, and grow rich in those Professions?
A48884Or, to make these Subjects rich, shall they all be obliged by Law to become Merchants, or Musicians?
A48884Shall it be provided by Law, that they must consult none but Roman Physicians, and shall every one be bound to live according to their Prescriptions?
A48884Shall we suffer a Pagan to deal and Trade with us, and shall we not suffer him to pray unto and worship God?
A48884These are allowed to People of some one Perswasion: Why not to all?
A48884What Security can be given for the Kingdom of Heaven?
A48884What can be the meaning of their asserting that Kings excommunicated forfeit their Crowns and Kingdoms?
A48884What difference is there whether he lead me himself, or deliver me over to be led by others?
A48884What else do they mean, who teach that Faith is not to be kept with Hereticks?
A48884What shall we conclude from thence?
A48884What, shall no Potion, no Broth, be taken, but what is prepared either in the Vatican, suppose, or in a Geneva Shop?
A48884Who shall be Judge between them?
A48884Why are Assemblies less sufferable in a Church than in a Theater or Market?
A48884Why are Crowds upon the Exchange, and a Concourse of People in Cities suffered?
A48884Why not the sprinkling of the Blood of Beasts in Churches, and Expiations by Water or Fire, and abundance more of this kind?
A48884Why otherwise do they compel one another unto the publick Assemblies?
A48884Why should not the Episcopal also have what they like?
A48884Will any man say, that any Right can be derived unto a Christian Church, over its Brethren, from a Turkish Emperor?
A48884Will the Magistrate provide by an express Law, That such an one shall not become poor or sick?
A48884You will say, what then?
A48884You''ll say; What, will you have People to meet at Divine Service against the Magistrates Will?
A48884those that desire, or those that forbid their being publick?
A66451* Is your way the fulnesse of him th ● t fills all in all?
A66451And is it not a time for us to agree for the truth?
A66451And is there not a curse denounced against those that lay house to house, and land to land, that they may dwell alone?
A66451And is there not one Father of us both?
A66451And what though it follow, so far as the word of God would h ● ve them born with ● ll?
A66451And why do you there bespeak us as free- men if you made account( and it be in your power) to make us bond- men, or use us so?
A66451Are their opinions damnable, either in themselves, or proper consequences?
A66451Are we not your fellow- servants and Brethren?
A66451Are you the onely rightfull Inhabitants of this good Countrey?
A66451But if it were good and just, why is it not pursued?
A66451But the Lord may answer us as he answered them; Is it time for you, O yee to dwell in your ● eiled houses,& c?
A66451Can your refuse- Brethren in Conference and Communication of spirituall gifts, adde nothing to you?
A66451Did not the same hand make us, that made you?
A66451Did you send us out to be cut off, and to make a hand of us?
A66451Did you slay part of us in the field with the sword of the Enemy, that you might the easier suppresse the residue at home?
A66451Do you count us no better then to be swords- meat, and to stop the mouthes of Canons?
A66451Do you take away my liberty, restore my husband who died to purchase it for you?
A66451Doth God take care for Oxen?
A66451Doth not nature teach to beare with a blain or blemish, rather then to destroy the body?
A66451Hath not Christ rendred his members all in a mutuall need of one another?
A66451Have you taken of us a price?
A66451I say, what do you in this, but set as at liberty afterwards?
A66451Is Christ so put to it, quite out of hope?
A66451Is all truth among one sort of men?
A66451Is it for that wee have no T ● ● tullus to plead our Cause, or for that wee are few and peaceable, and you may use us how you list?
A66451Is there not most, oft- times, in things that are most despised?
A66451Let it never be said, yee did run well, who did hinder you?
A66451May they not be gained hereafter?
A66451Must we never be of one heart, till we be of one way?
A66451Nay, why hath the Assembly born us in hand with such hopes and intimations?
A66451One Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme, one Religion?
A66451Or will you not rather ride on and prosper, because of truth, ● nd righte ● usnes ● e, ● nd meeknesse?
A66451Should such a din fill your eares sleeping and waking, what fruit would you have of your violent proceedings?
A66451So is it time for a you to agree and make your common engagement against any of the Lambes of Christ, the ground of a renewed friend ● hip?
A66451Sure it is not in you to make so ill an use of our good Principles?

A66451What promise were this?
A66451Who have shewed themselves more valiant in fight?
A66451Why then do you give place to us so much, as for an houre?
A66451Will you so bury all your fame and glorious achievements in so horrid a pit?

A02913& all the people must say so be it: was God thus jealous of Moses ordinances, ād is the lesse jelous of Christs?
A02913?
A02913A. Doth not Christ in the parrable Teach that he compelled all to come in?
A02913A. Doth not the Prophet say: that Kings shal be nursing Fathers& Queenes nursing Mothers to the Church?
A02913A. Hath not all the Learned of the Land considered of these things,& set thē dovvne, are such simple men as you likely to see more then all these?
A02913A. Hath not the King the same ● ovver that the Kings of Israel had who cōpelled mē to the observation of the lavv of God?
A02913And can any serve Christ and the Beast, God and the Dragon?
A02913And vvhy may not wee followe his example?
A02913Are all without exception in this feareful estate to bee cast into the laike that burneth with fire and brimstone?
A02913But Moses sayd vnto them, Shall your brethren goe to warre and ye tarie here?
A02913But are men left then to their owne free will?
A02913But do they teach their hearers to hate vaine inventions and love Gods Law?
A02913But if this be granted/ this question ariseth who shal then baptize after Antichrists exaltation?
A02913But one thinge I demaunde of you, who now is King of Israel?
A02913But what doe you then hold of infants?
A02913C. I demaund of you wherewith doth he compel them?
A02913C. Then, I demaund this question, whether every Christiā without respect of persons ought not to bee subject to Christs Lawes for his salvation?
A02913C. Wel, then I demand, hath the fleshly childr 〈 … 〉 of the faithfull, more previlege to life and salvation then the faithful themselves?
A02913C. What authoritie can any mortall Man require more, then of bodie, goods, life, and all that apperteyneth to the outward Man?
A02913C. What doe you meane by free will?
A02913C. What thē: is it therefore Chr: baptisme?
A02913C. Wherefore should they be condemned?
A02913C. You say true: then for that sin, God never purposed to condemne Adam to hell: if not him for that, why any of his posteritie for that?
A02913C. what then/ Is not his practice written for our instruction?
A02913Cā a theife that hath stolne goods, repent thereof to acceptance with God, and not make restitutiō to the party wronged?
A02913Christ or Antichrist?
A02913Did God ever purpose or declare, that Adam for that transgression should goe to hell?
A02913Do not the Bbs: herein justifie this accursed doctrine and practice in the Papists?
A02913Further did not that Southsayer Balaam, teach excellent truths?
A02913Helwys, Thomas, 1550?-1616?, attributed name.
A02913How comes it then that some do beleeve/ and some do not?
A02913How long Lord?
A02913I demaund of you, did any of Adams posteritie fall deeper in that trāsgression then he himself?
A02913I demaund/ doth the Lord require no more worke of them?
A02913I. I can not contradict you in this, I will better cōsider of it, but I pray you what hold you then of Predestination?
A02913I. I confesse these iudgments are to be trembled at/ but how do you apply them properly to such as worship in these assemblies?
A02913I. I praise God you have given me great satisfaction in these things/ what must we do after our baptisme?
A02913If men hold errors& vvill not obey the truth, do they not sin against God,& deserve punishment?
A02913If vvicked malefactors should bee let allone to the end of the vvorld, then vvhere is the Magistrats svvorde?
A02913Is Gods Church thus planted?
A02913Is this all the authority that you vvill give to the King?
A02913May none be admitted to the Church/ to pertake in the ordinances, except they be baptized?
A02913May we say/ the Religion of the Philo ● ● phers was good because of their morall ver ● es?
A02913Next/ after forsaking the wayes of wickednes/ and imbraceing Christ for our righteousnes what must wee do?
A02913Shall they not escape damnatiō for this accursed doctrine and practice, ād thinke you you shall?
A02913So may I say, whether is greater the water and washinge, or the word that sanctifies the water?
A02913Thou that teachest another, teachest thou not they selff?
A02913VVhy come you not to Church?
A02913Vnto the wicked said God, what haist thou to do with my ordināces?

A02913What other example have you in the scriptures, that on vnbaptized person may baptise?
A02913What should I do there?

A02913and as the lord saith: Iff I be your maister, where is my feare?
A02913and was not reformation wrought hereby?
A02913ād did not they that preached in Christs name cast out Devils, and do many and great workes?
A02913doth he not requyre that they should help to cast downe Babell?
A02913must he die that dispiseth Moses law, and shal he escape that dispiseth Christs?
A02913or do Christs Disciples thus plant?
A02913or if he could not have resisted God in eating the forbidden fruit/ how could God have manifested his mercie to him in Christ?
A02913the offering, or the altar that sanctifieth the offering?
A02913thou that judgest another, judgest them not thy self?

A48891And if their own word; may not be taken; who, I pray must be judg?
A48891And if there be such a right somewhere, where should it be but in the Civil Sovereign?
A48891And now, I pray, which of these two Brothers would you have punished, to make him bethink himself, and bring him back to the Truth?
A48891And why may not the care of every Man''s Soul be left to himself?
A48891Are Men to be punished for refusing to imbrace the Doctrine, and submit to the Government, of the proper Ministers of the Church of Geneva?
A48891Are you in earnest?
A48891Are you sincere?
A48891But could there be a more wild and incoherent Consequence drawn from it, than this; Therefore Dissenters must be punished?
A48891But if all Men have not Reason and sound Judgment, will Punishment put it into them?
A48891But if, by these Proper Ministers of Religion, the Ministers of some particular Church are intended; why do you not name it?
A48891But what if, after all, now you should be found to prevaricate?
A48891But why, I pray, all this bogling, all this loose talking, as if you knew not what you meant, or durst not speak it out?
A48891But will you say therefore that this is lawful, justifiable Chirurgery?
A48891Dissenting?
A48891For what then are they to be punished?
A48891For what?
A48891For what?
A48891Have no Dissenters considered of Religion?
A48891Have they considered and examined enough, if they are satisfied themselves where the Truth lies?
A48891Have you never heard of such a thing as the Religion establish''d by Law?
A48891I answer, if you meant so, why did you not say so?
A48891If Dissenting be not the Fault; is it that a Man does not examine his own Religion, and the Grounds of it?
A48891If I now say, Doubtless this is a good argument; is not every one bound without more ado to admit it for such?
A48891If this be not to compel them to the Magistrates Religion, pray tell ● … us what is?
A48891If you can not lay your Hand upon your Heart, and say all this; What then will be got by the change?
A48891If you should make a Law to punish all Stammerers; could any one believe you, if you said it was designed only to make them leave Swearing?
A48891Is that the Crime your Punishments are designed to cure?
A48891Is the Magistrate commonly more careful of his own, than other Men are of theirs?
A48891Is the Magistrate like to be more concern''d for it?
A48891Is the Magistrate like to take more care of it?
A48891Must these of his Subjects be neglected, and lest without the means he has Authority to procure them?
A48891Of what?
A48891Or else, must they be punished to make them consider and examine till they imbrace that which you choose for Truth?
A48891Or have all Conformists considered?
A48891Or must he ase Force upon them too?
A48891Perhaps it will be answered; If there be so much toil in it, that particular Persons must be apply''d to, who then will be a Minister?
A48891Shall we do evil that good may come of it?
A48891That it is not easy to set Grantham Steeple upon Paul''s Church?
A48891That therefore the Magistrate may make use of it?
A48891The Question is, Whether Civil Society be instituted only for Civil Ends?
A48891To what end?
A48891What I beseech you is the Crime here?
A48891What do you conclude from thence, to your purpose?
A48891What if God would have Men left to their freedom in this Point, if they will hear, or if they will forbear, will you constrain them?
A48891What if there be other Means?
A48891What is it?
A48891What is to be done now?
A48891What now must be done with them?
A48891What then will become of your indirect, and at a distance Vsefulness?
A48891What to do?
A48891What, I pray, is the design of it?
A48891What?
A48891Which, what is it other, but to compel them to relinquish their own, and to conform themselves to that from which they differ?
A48891Which, what is it, but to punish men barely for not being of the Magistrate''s Religion; The very thing you deny he has authority to do?
A48891Who can deny now, but that you have taken care, great care, for the promoting of Truth and the Christian Religion?
A48891Whom?
A48891Why are you so reserv''d, in a Matter wherein, if you speak not out, all the rest that you say will be to no purpose?
A48891Why should not the care of every Man''s Soul be left to himself, rather than the Magistrate?
A48891Why?
A48891Will Punishment make Men know what is Reason and sound Judgment?
A48891Will the examining the Controversy between the Magistrate and the Dissenting Subject, in this case bring him to the Knowledg of the Truth?
A48891Will you say the Magistrate is less expos''d in matters of Religion, to Prejudices, Humours, and Crafty Seducers, than other Men?
A48891Would not every one see it was impossible that punishment should be only against Swweating, when all Stammerers were under the penalty?
A48891Would you be for punishing some Body, you know not whom?
A48891You and your Magistrates?
A48891You ask, What Means else is there left?
A51057& how hath that spirit, wrought in the childreen of disobedience?
A51057And on the other hand, the French and English, in continual complements, and embraces, and yet, are they all deluded?
A51057And shall not we offer them the assistance, of our utmost intercessions?
A51057And the Stats the most dull sots, or empty politicians imaginable?
A51057And will not we goe up to the mount,& weep upon God to stand by them?
A51057But vvhat can this be?
A51057But vvhy do I inlarge?
A51057But why do insist?
A51057Can Popish Armes prevail, and not establish Popish superstition?
A51057Can this Popish Superstition have power, and not both prosper and persecute?
A51057Do we not perceive the men with the slaughter weapon in their hand?
A51057God forbid: Now if it be asked, what then should we do?
A51057If so, the scheme I graunt is changed: But is it credible, that infatuation itself, can fixe us in this resolution?
A51057May not the things, which have overtaken us already, make us know, that it is a feareful thing, to fall into the hands of the living God?
A51057Oh poor England, how do thy Rulers, post thee to thy ruine?
A51057One vvoe is past, and behold another vvoe cometh quickly?
A51057Or if our distresse should move compassion, who dare offer to help us?
A51057Or vvhat do I exspect by reasoning?
A51057Shall not my soul be avenged upon such a generation as this?
A51057What a golden indulgence must it be, that vvill yet erect our trade, under all these pressures?
A51057What could we say to God?
A51057What''s the matter?
A51057Where then is the glory of our nation whereof we boasted?
A51057Who amongst the nations will pity us?
A51057Why then do we delay to gather our selves together?
A51057Why?
A51057Will nothing awake us, till the terrors of God take hold on us as vvatter, and a sudden tempest of indignation, steal us avvay in the night?
A51057Will we in our fretfulnesse, needs pick quarrels, where humanity would prompt and instigat us, to the revenge of gratitude?
A51057Yea, he is not so capable of our favour, as our Catholick subjects are: I am sorry for it, but why?
A51057[ London?
A51057and adjudge also all who had been his hearers, as guilty at least of misprison of treason?
A51057or forebeare to lay hold, on the first opportunity, of dealing with him, as a seditious person, yea a Traitour?
A51057or hath the world seen with their eyes, for above these two yeers, the French and Dutch in hostile preparations, and mutual defiance?
A51057will we harden our selves against him,& prosper?
A42139?
A42139And is it against mans reason that he in following years may meet other bookes of Arians, Socinians,& c.& do the like?
A42139And what Jesus Christ are we obliged to believe in?
A42139And what Religion shall J profess, if J lay Scripture asyde?
A42139And what greater authoriti ● has a synod of England for to prov ● a Doctrin to be of the Reformation than a synod of France which I have produced?
A42139And what then?
A42139And why?
A42139And will you deny this to be the Doctrin of the Reformation, wheras its Scripture as interpreted by men of so eminent and sound a judgment?
A42139Articles of the Church of England, which allow no other Rule of faith but Scripture as each person of sound judgment vnderstands it?
A42139Articles?
A42139Ask them, if we be obliged to believe the Doctrin and sense of scripture delivered by a general Council?
A42139But can you prove this Doctrin by the testimony of any of our synods?
A42139But is there no Tenet of Religion which we are all indispensably obliged to hold?
A42139But what do you think of a Child Christen''d in Popery by a Monk or a Fryar, ought he to be Christen''d again in our Reformation?
A42139But what''s the matter?
A42139Can there be any synod in England of so great authoritie as our wise and prudent Parliaments?
A42139Can you prove that our Rule of faith is Scripture as any particular Dr or person of sound judgment vnderstands it?
A42139Destroy it?
A42139Did Luther and Calvin forsake the Pope and Councils, for to submit their judgments to any other?
A42139Did any teach that we may with a safe conscience change our Religion as you say?
A42139Did ever any Apostle speake with more courage?
A42139Do you think a Doctrin is not of the Reformation, because it s denied by the Church of England?
A42139Does he forsake the Reformation because he forsakes Lutheranism for Calvinism?
A42139Does not our Reformation teach that it''s possible to all men assisted with Gods Grace to keep the Commandments?
A42139Happily?
A42139Have not we many examples of his in our best& most renowned Reformers?
A42139How long halt ye between two opinions?
A42139Is''t possible?
A42139J ca n''t tell; what may be the reason, think you?
A42139J would gladly know, if it be lawfull to chop or change the text?
A42139Let vs ask this synod by what Rule of faith does the Reformation walk?
A42139Must I not believe that the Doctrin of Jesus Christ, delivered to his Apostles and the Church is true Doctrin?
A42139No sure; for Calvinism is as much of the Reformation as the other: Is not Protestancy as much the Doctrin of the Reformation as Presbyterie?
A42139Nor was it only Luther and Calvin spoke thus, but all our first blessed Reformers; and why?
A42139Or than Luther and Zuinglius our first Reformers inspired by God to teach vs the puritie of the Ghospel?
A42139Shock me?
A42139The Popes Supremacy is the Doctrin of Popery; who doubts it?
A42139Was it not from Luther and Zuinglius that England receiued the Doctrin of the Reformation?
A42139What do you think of Iustifying faith?
A42139What do you think, have not wee a Church on earth establisht by Christ, wherin wee are to live and serve him, and believe her Doctrin?
A42139What, not Paganism, which adored a Multitude of Gods, for Christianity which adores but one?
A42139Wherin can you say does this man transgress against the Doctrin or principles of the Reformation?
A42139Why?
A42139Will you believe Scripture, as it is interpreted, and in that sense which the Church, Councils, and Fathers propound vnto you?
A42139Would Luther have given this liberty, if Transubstantiation had not been the Doctrin of the Reformation as well as any other?
A42139You can never settle any but rhis, That every man may without le ● or hinderance believe what he please: and why should not this be a good Religion?
A42139],[ London?
A42139and if England be so bold as to say they erred in this, what assurance can we haue, but that they erred in the rest?
A42139and it shall be lawfull for them to believe it against the Doctrin of the whole Church?
A42139and must they be constrain''d to deny or believe because the fallible Church of England or France will have it so?
A42139and were not Doctor Morton, Fox, Field and Illiricus men of sound judgement, eminent Learning, and Godlines?
A42139and what difference betwixt you and the Church of Rome?
A42139and what if a Popish Priest or Fryar did becom of our Reformed Church, can he lawfully marry, wheras he made a vow of Chastity?
A42139and what then?
A42139and why should not it be lawfull to any Reformed to believe this, wheras its Scripture as interpreted by a man of so sound a judgment?
A42139are not Luther, Caluin, Danaeus, Ochinus as well of the Reformation; and men of as sound judgment as they?
A42139but England France and Scotland believes this Mysterie; well?
A42139by whom were they condemn''d?
A42139do not they persecute all non Conformists, as well as Popery?
A42139do you call an exchange of Paganism for Popery( introduced by Austin) a Happiness?
A42139does faith alone justify vs?
A42139have you met any thing in it, which shocks you?
A42139how can you say, J oblige you to believe fals and scandalous Tenets?
A42139if Popery( not withstanding it be Idolatrie, as they say) be a saving Religion; how can they deny but that Paganism is also a saving Religion?
A42139if- therefore this be Scripture as interpreted by them how can you deny it to be the Doctrin of the Reformation?
A42139is not Scripture our Rule of faith, and are wee to regard what any Church or all Churchs say, further than wee find by Scripture that they say well?
A42139me thinks you become pale som thing troubles you, speake, what i st?
A42139must J believe yours against my Conscience and knowledge ▪ or must not J believe my own?
A42139must our Rule of faith be Scripture as the Church of England vnderstands it, and not otherwise?
A42139of our Reformation, and our Travellers to the Court of Rome give this testimonie of them?
A42139or because she persecutes the Professors of it?
A42139or is it not the Doctrin of our Reformation?
A42139what do you inferr from this discourse?
A42139what is Calvinism, but what Calvin a particular Dr, judged to be the sense of Scripture against that same Church?
A42139what must a man believe for to be a true Reformed?
A42139what need had our Forefathers therefore to abandon Paganism?
A42139what need therefore of a Bible for to have Religion?
A42139what say you to the Presbyterians, who preferr their own sense and interpretation of the Bible, before that of the Church of England?
A42139why was it not left in the land?
A42139you can hardly shew me any Tenet of Popery, but what is its Doctrin; what Doctrin more Popish than that of Confession and Absolution from sins?
A42139you say they are old condemn''d Heretiks: and does this language becom a Child of the Reformed Church?
A43300Helveys, Thomas, 1550?-1616?
A433003.26, 27. Who hath set up his new way, Christ or Antichrist?
A433006. and mention our of Staphilus his Apology, thus: The Collier being at the point of death, and tempted of the Devil what his Faith was?
A43300And again, The Scriptures contain the Principles of our Faith, and shall we not believe them?
A43300And can any serve Christ and the Beast, God and the Dragon?
A43300And did not they that preached in Christs Name cast out Devils, and do many and great works?
A43300And was not Reformation wrought hereby?
A43300And what was the cause of Babels destruction, but their trusting in the Learned?
A43300And whither out Saviour flie when the time came that he was to shew himself to Israel?
A43300And why do men call themselves Christians, and do not the things Christ would?
A43300And why may not we follow his example?
A43300And will not your Majesty, your Highness, your Honours, your Worships, be pleased to consider of these things?
A43300Are all, without exception, in this fearful estate to be case into the Lake, that burneth with fire and brimstone?
A43300Are not all Jews and Gentiles in one estate by nature?
A43300Are such simple men as you likely to see more than all these?
A43300But do they teach their hearers to hate vain inventions, and love God''s Law?
A43300But if this be granted, this question ariseth, Who shall then baptize after Antichrists exaltation?
A43300But one thing I demand of you, Who now is King of Israel?
A43300But what say you, Have they not power to compel men to come to the place where the Word is publickly taught, that they may be converted?
A43300Can a Thief that hath stolen Goods, repent thereof to acceptance with God, and not make restitution to the party wronged?
A43300Did not that Southsayer Balaam teach excellent Truths?
A43300Do any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees believe in him?
A43300Do they teach any to submit to that one Law- giver, Christ Jesus, for the guidance of his Church, and not to Antichrists Abominations?
A43300Doth he smite the Earth with any other weapons than by the breath of his lips?
A43300Doth not Christ in the Parable teach, that he compelled all to come in?
A43300Doth not the Prophet say, That Kings shall be Nursing Fathers, and Queens Nursing Mothers to the Church?
A43300Elizabeth?
A43300Hath not God made the wisdom of this world follishness?
A43300Hath not the King the same Power that the Kings of Israel had, who compelled men to the observation of the Law of God?
A43300Have not all the Learned of the Land considered of these things, and set them down?
A43300Helveys, Thomas, 1550?-1616?
A43300Helveys, Thomas, 1550?-1616?
A43300I ask of you Bishops, what help used the Apostles in the publishing of the Gospel?
A43300I confess these Judgments are to be trembled at; but how do you apply them properly to such as worship in these Assemblies?
A43300I demand of you, what Covenant the Lord meanthe here?
A43300I demand of you, wherewith doth he compel them?
A43300I demand, Doth the Lord require no more work of them?
A43300I praise God you have given me great satisfaction in these things; What must we do after our Baptism?
A43300I pray let me ask you a Question, Do you seek the Glory of God, and the Salvation of my soul herein, or your own Obedience?
A43300I pray let me demand this Question; Doth the King require my coming to Church to worship and serve God, or to worship and serve the King?
A43300If a man should drink poison, and know it to be poison, were he not in a worse estate than he that should drink it ignorantly not knowing thereof?
A43300If any ask how we know all, or any of these Scriptures to be inspired of God?
A43300If it were as you would have it, that all Religions should be suffered, how dangerous would it be to the Kings Person and State?
A43300If men hold Errors, and will not obey the Truth, do they not sin against God, and deserve punishment?
A43300If wicked Malefactors should be let alone to the end of the World, then where is the Magistrates Sword?
A43300If you say he may compel me to offer up a worship only with my body,( for the spirit you confess he can not compel) To whom is that worship?
A43300Is Gods Church thus planted?
A43300Is this all the Authority that you will give to the King?
A43300It concerneth our eternal Salvation, or Condemnation, and is therefore of great importance; for what can a man give for the ranfom of his Soul?
A43300Let all Gods People cry, How long Lord?
A43300May none be admitted to the Church to partake in the Ordinances, except they be baptized?
A43300May not the same be said in as high a measure of Judah?
A43300May we say, the Religion of the Philosophers was good because of their moral vertues?
A43300Most true it is; but is it not also true, that Princes must afford all their Subjects Justice and Equity, although they be as Heathens and Publicans?
A43300Must he dye that despiseth Moses Law, and shall he escape that despiseth Christs, upon what pretence soever?
A43300Next after forsaking the wayes of wickedness, and imbracing Christ for our Righteousness, what must we do?
A43300Now this is the question, whether this action, thus unlawfully performed may be kept, and yet repented of?
A43300Or, can not we know them infallibly of themselves, without we let in the authority of the Church?
A43300Or, do you think that Paul went about with Regal Mandates, or Kingly Authority to gather and establish the Church of Christ?
A43300Shall they not escape Damnation for this accursed doctrine and practice, and think ye you shall?
A43300So may I say, Whether is greater, the Water and Washing, or the Word that sanctifies the Water?
A43300Sought he Protection from Nero Vespatian?
A43300The High Commission is from the King, and dare you once call it into question?
A43300Then I demand this Question, Whether every Christian, without respect of persons, ought not to be subject to Christs Laws for his Salvation?
A43300Thou that judgest another, judgest thou not thy self?
A43300Thou that teachest another, teachest thou not thy self?
A43300VVHy come you not to Church?
A43300VVell, then I demand, Have the fleshly Children of the Faithfull more priviledge to Life and Salvation than the Faithful themselves?
A43300VVhat Authority can any mortal man require more, than of body, goods, life, and all that appertaineth to the outward man?
A43300VVhat should I do there?
A43300Was God thus jealous of Moses''s Ordinances, and is he less jealous of Christs?
A43300Was not Paul a Blasphemer?
A43300Well, if that be the true exposition, I pray you why do you then excommunicate any out of your Church, contrary to your own acknowledgment?
A43300Were not Blasphemers put to death in time of the Law?
A43300What do you mean by will not hear?
A43300What if I should many times go through weakness?
A43300What other example have you in the Scriptures, that an unbaptized person may baptize?
A43300What shall men do striving about matters of Religion till this be ended?
A43300What then, Is not his practice written for our instruction?
A43300What then?
A43300When they were Imprisoned and lay in Chains, did they praise and give thanks to God for any dignities, graces and favours received from the Court?
A43300Where is the Wise?
A43300Who are more confident of their good estate with God than the Papists, notwithstanding all their gross abominations?
A43300Who is ignorant( knowing the Histories) that from time to time, both particular Popes and general Councils, have grosly erred in many things?
A43300Will not Christ Jesus pronounce absolutely either Salvation or Condemnation to every one?
A43300With the aid of what Power did they preach Christ, and converted the Heathen from their Idolatry to God?
A43300Yea, do they not forbid their own Ministers to expound or discourse of the Scriptures?
A43300and as the Lord saith, If I be your Master, where is my fear?
A43300and how many, both then and since, have been consumed to death in Prisons?
A43300and is there more than one way of coming to Christ for them both, namely, to be the Sons of God by Faith, and to put on Christ by Baptism?
A43300answered: I believe, and dye in the Faith of Christs Church: Being again demanded what the Faith of Christs Church was?
A43300being in his power, or having ability to restore; I would know how this will be maintained?
A43300but will your selves submit the guidance of your Souls to the learned Spirituality,( as they are called) without due examination by the Scriptures?
A43300doth he not require that they should help to cast down Babel?
A43300he hath no carnal weapons: Doth he not compel them by his Word, which is his two- edged Sword?
A43300if a Father, where is mine honour or worship?
A43300is it therefore Christs Baptism?
A43300or, do Christs Disciples thus plant?
A43300the Offering, or the Altar that sanctifieth the Offering?
A43300was Israels sin half so great as Judahs?
A43300what Treacheries and Treasons would be plotted?
A43300when wilt thou come to destroy Antichrists cruel Kingdom, and establish Christs meek and peaceable Kingdom?
A43300where is the Disputer of this world?
A43300where is the Scribe?
A43300whose eyes do not gush out with tears in the confideration thereof?
A5373314 But would not his Obedience hallow, or at least excuse his action?
A537339. Who ever doubted of it?
A53733And hath this Gentleman really considered what the meaning of that word Trade is, and what is the concernment of this Nation in it?
A53733And how doth thi ● follow?
A53733And may not this Rule be quickly extended unto Oaths themselves, the bonds and Ligaments of humane Society?
A53733And shall they they be destroyed, if they miss it in some matters of smaller concernment?
A53733And what if others believe that to pursue their successes in Villany and Rebellion is to follow Providence?
A53733And what is it, that we treat about?
A53733And what now if those intended do not believe these things, nor any one of them?
A53733And what quietness, what peace is there like to be in the world, whilst the sword of vengeance must be continually drawn about these things?
A53733And why all this fierceness and severity?
A53733And why may not the same Rule and Order be observed with respect to the circumstances that attend the performance of the duties of instituted Worship?
A53733And will it not be bitterness in the latter end?
A53733And will they justifie all their oppressors?
A53733And would not the Authority of the King warrant his Obedience?
A53733And would these men be willingly thus dealt withall, by those who judge, or may judge them to err?
A53733Are immoralities or vicious debaucheries rather to be tolerated, or exempted from punishment, than such a dissent?
A53733Are there then Reasons: for their observation besides their Injuction, and such as on the account whereof they are injoyned?
A53733Are these their Apprehensions concerning God, sin, themselves and others?
A53733Are these things suited to the principles, Doctrines, practices of the Church of England?
A53733Are these things then so indeed?
A53733Besides who shall judge what is small, or what is great in things of this Nature?
A53733But is it not strange, how any man can assume to himself, and swallow so much confidence as is needful to the mannagement of this charge?
A53733But is their Judgement infallible?
A53733But shall this wrath never be allayed?
A53733But to what purpose is it to contend about these things?
A53733But what if it so fall out?
A53733But what if this also should prove a false and futilous pretence?
A53733But what name shall these new Vertues be called by?
A53733But what then is to be done in this Case?
A53733But what would be the issue of such proceedings?
A53733But who judgeth them to be so guilty of errors?
A53733But why so?
A53733But, as I said, what will be the end of these things, namely of mutual virulent reflections upon one another?
A53733Doth God deal thus in this world, in his Rule over the souls of men?
A53733Doth it thence follow that such persons must needs Rebell and be Seditious and disturb the publick peace, of the Society whereof they are Members?
A53733Doth the Lord Christ require his Disciples to do and observe in the Worship of God what ever he commanded them?
A53733Ecquid meministi?
A53733For to what purpose serve their Understandings, their Judgements, their Wills, if not to guide and determine them in their Actions?
A53733For what security can be had of him, who hath inured himself unto a continual contradiction between his Faith and his practice?
A53733For wherein can this be effected?
A53733Hath he dominion over them to rule them in the things of the Worship of God?
A53733Hath the Magistrate this his Authority in and over Religion and the consciences of men from Jesus Christ?
A53733He asks farther, what doth the Scripture mean when it stiles our Saviour the King of Kings, and maketh Princes his Vicegerents here on earth?
A53733How are they directed to behave themselves, after they have assumed a likeness unto the Most High, and exalted themselves to his Throne?
A53733How if they should be mistaken themselves in their judgement?
A53733I would then a little farther enquire, who shall judge whether the things commanded in Religion and the Worship of God be Idolatrous or Superstitious?
A53733Is it not because of the Authority of God over their minds and Consciences in these things?
A53733Is it not evident to him that hath but half an eye that we are come about again where we were before?
A53733Is it only towards them, who are of the same mind with themselves?
A53733Is it such as to make that to be Vertue which was not Vertue before, or which was Vice, and oblige men in Conscience to practise it as Vertue?
A53733Is it to be so born as to practise and observe the things so enjoyned though Superstitious and Idolatrous?
A53733Is it to judge of their Actions as done, whether they be good or evil?
A53733Is the Authority of Christ the formal Reason making Obedience necessary to his Commands and Precepts?
A53733Is the Lord Christ the Lord of the Souls and Consciences of men?
A53733Is this Spirit from above?
A53733Is this the Spirit wherewith the Children of the Church are acted?
A53733Is this the way to restore peace, quietness and satisfaction to the minds of men?
A53733Is this to act like God, whose power and authority they have assumed, or like to his greatest Adversary?
A53733Is this, thought I, the Spirit of the men with whom the Non- Conformists do contend, and upon whose Instance alone they suffer?
A53733Might Christ in his own Person administer the Holy Things of the Church of God?
A53733Now who shall fix bounds to what they will judge to fall under one or other of these limitations?
A53733Once more; what name of sin or wickedness will they find to affix to these errors?
A53733Or must Ephraim now answer for the sin, and not be only that imposed the command?
A53733Quanta isthaec Hominum summa est?
A53733Quis nist Callimachus?
A53733Quis tulerit Gracehos de seditione querentes?
A53733Shall this Sword devour for ever?
A53733Some have denyed him any concern herein; our Author is none of them?
A53733Suppose they be prevailed with, to run the hazzard and adventure of such an undertaking; what is it that they are thereon perswaded unto?
A53733What Ladders have men to climb personally into Heaven?
A53733What are the Affairs of Religion here intended, all or some?
A53733What are the concerns of publick good therein?
A53733What can be more directly forbidden, than the making or use ● ● g of graven Images, in or about Religious Worship?
A53733What hurt would it be to leave them so?
A53733What if some of them, are ridiculously framed into Articles of faith, from the supposed practices of some individual Persons?
A53733What if the things condemned as fulsome Metaphors prove to be Scriptural expressions of Gospel Mysteries?
A53733What if they do openly disavow every one of them, as for ought I ever heard or know they do, and as I do my self?
A53733What is it, that a little Truce and Peace is desired unto, and pleaded for?
A53733What place of Scripture in the Old or New Testament, which of the ancient Fathers of the Church, do speak at this rate?
A53733What thinks he of the Confessions of Ezra, of Daniel and others in the name of the whole people of God?
A53733Wherefore then are these weak attempts made to confirm and prove what is not?
A53733Whether they cross directly the Interest of the Gospel?
A53733Who is it that promiseth these things?
A53733Who would be gainers by it?
A53733Whom will such men fulfill the commands of patience, forbearance, waiting, meekness, condescension, that the Gospel abounds with, towards?
A53733Will this way of proceeding compose and satisfie the minds of men?
A53733and how if sundry things so odiously here expressed, be proved to have been sober Truths declared in words of Wisdom and Sobriety?
A53733and who shall attend them in their attempt?
A53733he answers, It is to be born: True, but how?
A53733how if he be not able to prove any of them by any considerable avowed instance?
A53733how will he confirm and vindicate it?
A53733no more then Christ hath his Authority from the Magistrate; for he holds it by the Law of Nature antecedent to the promise and coming of Christ?
A53733or did any one ever think, that they had a difficult case of Conscience to resolve in that matter?
A53733or is not this that, which is set out in the Fable of Phaeton, that he, who takes the Chariot of the Sun, will cast the whole world into a combustion?
A53733that there is no work at all of God upon the hearts of Sinners, but that which is purely moral, and perswasive by the word?
A53733that what is asserted by some concerning the Efficacy of the Grace of the Spirit, and concerning his gifts, is no more but a buzz and a noise?
A53733where lyes the difficulty?
A53733why?
A39306( Why did they not answer this One Objection, which themselves had advanced?)
A39306Again, they say, If you deny that you impose, why are not you quiet?
A39306All that are called Quakers?
A39306And again, If thou dost not presently see that Service in a thing, that the rest of thy Brethren agree in, it is thy Duty( what to do?
A39306And although from the Author''s asking, Is the fault in the thing themselves?
A39306And hath the World that Eye to see her with?
A39306And how then will it hold that the Latter, they that believe nothing a Duty but what they are perswaded of, do indeed own all Duty, that can be known?
A39306Are not Sobriety, Temperance, Chastity, Modesty, Honesty,& c. certain Rules whereby Conversation ought to be measured?
A39306Are not all to be led by the One Spirit of Truth into all Truth, into Circumstantials, as well as into Essentials?
A39306Are not these Generals designed for a shelter for something to lurk under?
A39306Are there not various Measures, diversities of Gifts, and several Offices in the Body?
A39306Are they inconsistent with Truth, or will not the Truth own or assent unto them?
A39306Are they to be left to their Liberty and Freedom in doing the thing that is extreamly Evil?
A39306But among all those of whom Christ is Head ought there not to be an Agreement?
A39306But can nothing be an abuse of the Plea, but using it against Understanding?
A39306But if they do not so, what then?
A39306But if they know not their Habitation in God, in what do they know their Habitation to be?
A39306But is the Church( or was it ever) known to the World?
A39306But it was, Must I conform to things whether I can receive them or no?
A39306But must I conform to things whether I can receive them or no?
A39306But say they, What care has he taken?
A39306But since ye have resolved Circumstantials into Shadowy things; what will ye do with them under the Gospel?
A39306But therefore are not the Members of one mind and Iudgement, in common and universal matters, relating to the Church of God?
A39306But they say, Can any indifferent man think that all this Smoke can be without Fire?
A39306But when they do so, what is to be done in the case?
A39306But whence should this Liberty of disagreeing proceed?
A39306But where is that?
A39306Can the Church of Christ be seen but by a Spiritual Eye?
A39306Common, because it was commonly received; or because it was offered, intended and tendred as a Common Benifit to all that would receive it?
A39306Did he say, thou must Conform before or without Coviction?
A39306Did not the same Evidence come along with the Apostle, and attend his Ministry, as before?
A39306Did not they that ran out in I. Perot''s business, plead being left to their Freedom, to their Liberty?
A39306Did they want to be better inform''d, whether These are Evils or no?
A39306Do not Pennyman, Crisp and Bugg own in words the same righteous Principle still?
A39306Does not this shew they are devoted to Cavilling?
A39306Doth Christ, the Head, dispose or allow any of his Members to quarrel amongst themselves?
A39306Doth it therefore follow, or will they thence infer, that the Hatred of Money is the Root of all Good?
A39306Doth not this shew both great Partiality, and a captious mind?
A39306For do not they pretend to be a Society, and that too with respect to outward Rules?
A39306For having put this Question, But must I conform to things whether I can receive them or no?
A39306For some to slight, reject, deny and obstruct the work and service of the rest?
A39306For the Author''s words lie, thus, The Enemy is at work to scatter the minds of Friends, by that loose Plea, What hast thou to do with me?
A39306For the Question being there put, Ought I not to be left to the Grace of God in my own Heart?
A39306Have they not hereby unchurched themselves?
A39306How know they then whether the sense, relish, and taste of it, which they say they had in their hearts, was Divine, or no?
A39306How may we suppose he could admit the fault to be in the things, which he prae- suppos''d to be good, wholsom, and requisit?
A39306How then can they pretend to be of the true Church, which they will not allow to be yet referrable to any Society, with respect to outward Rules?
A39306How would they be understood, that a Question in some sort is a matter undetermined till affirmed and denyed?
A39306If it was dark before, how much clearer is it now?
A39306If they ask, But by what certain or undoubted Rule shall we know who are such?
A39306In page 42, they ask, Why may not you be cautioned to beware of Formality?
A39306In their 32 page, they say, Why do you impose upon your Brethren?
A39306Is every Conclusion an Antithesis, do they think?
A39306Is it not from the Spirit of God in ones self, that Conviction or Perswasion of Duty is to be accepted and received?
A39306Is it undetermined in some sort, and determined in some other sort, before it be either affirmed or denyed?
A39306Is not Christ, ask they, the Head of all that is good, from the least breathing to the fullest perfection?
A39306Is not that looking backward, instead of forward?
A39306Is not this looking backward, instead of forward?
A39306Is not this pittiful Shuffling?
A39306Is the will of God, think they, done in Heaven by some, one way, by others, a clean contrary way in opposition to that?
A39306Is their Beginning the Boundary?
A39306Is there no medium between my not acting as I am perswaded, and acting as others are perswaded?
A39306Is this to draw from the Gift of God in ones self, to depend upon others for Guidance?
A39306It follows in their Book, But why can not you agree together, whilst you own one and the same righteous Principle?
A39306Must the Agreement in Heaven be in some things only, and not in all?
A39306Must therefore None be left to it, although they know it, and have it?
A39306Must they not agree on Earth, that must agree in Heaven?
A39306Nay, have they not been worse than those forespoken of by Christ?
A39306Nay, why can not you and they agree in other things, as well as in contending against Truth, and writing Books against Friends?
A39306Nor do they deny that those, and such like, things have been, or may be, defended, by some under that Plea, What hast thou to do with me?
A39306Or disclaim''d Membership with the true Church?
A39306Or do they not know where, or in what their Habitation is?
A39306Or is a Question, with them, a matter determined so soon as it is affirmed or denyed?
A39306Or was it in all things then relating to Religion amongst them, even in those things that were rather Circumstantial than Essential?
A39306Or was there no room in their prejudiced mind for the Evidence to enter?
A39306Or would a Persons being dissatisfied with any of those things then, have freed him from the Obligation of them?
A39306Ought I not to be left to the Grace and Spirit of God in my own Heart?
A39306Rep. Doth this offend them?
A39306Rep. May they so?
A39306Rep. What ground had they to dream that he brought it as an Antithesis at all?
A39306Should not they have gone further then, for a proof that he was wrong, than their sense that the same Evidence came not along with him?
A39306The Apostle, when he said, Is there Vnrighteousness with God?
A39306There they say, What can hinder the putting this in practice, but the Devil in the likeness of Truth, perswading this was to give Liberty to Evil?
A39306Therefore he subjoyns, Is the fault in the things themselves?
A39306They add, And are we to go any further for a Proof, that such are wrong, than when the same Evidence comes not along with them?
A39306They add, You came out together, have you not done the greater, and can not you do the less?
A39306They go on; Doth not he gather all the Good together in one, even himself?
A39306They go on; Doth not he own all that''s of his own beegtting, every where, according to the degree of knowledge received?
A39306They say, in their 31 page, Will he leave us to depend, and not certainly tell us what on?
A39306This looks too like that impertinent Curiosity, which drew from the Apostle the Rebuke of[ thou Fool] to him that asked, How are the Dead raised up?
A39306Was it not so with some of old, who received, owned, embraced and allowed the Apostle Paul as right, and yet afterward turned against him as wrong?
A39306Was it only in such things as are accounted Essential?
A39306Was not his Church always hid from the World?
A39306Was therefore no Duty incumbent on them?
A39306Well, add they, what then?
A39306Were there any hurt in this?
A39306Were those things then good, or not good, according as Persons were perswaded of them, or dissatisfied with them?
A39306What Assurance doth their saying, they are sure give to others?
A39306What has been the general pretence of these, but want of Liberty?
A39306What necessity is there for that?
A39306What remedy has he provided, that true Liberty and Freedom of Speech may be maintained?
A39306What then?
A39306When they say, All must be left free; what All do they mean?
A39306When, to the Question,[ If I do not presently see that Service in a thing, that the rest of my Brethren agree in, in this case what is my Duty?]
A39306Where lies the[ must] in this case?
A39306Where was the fault?
A39306Whereas the first part, nor any part of the Question was not, Ought I to receive things against Truth?
A39306Whether thou hast received an Understanding about it, or no?
A39306Why did they not Answer these that were advanced, as there phrase is?
A39306Why now?
A39306Why so?
A39306Will ye assert shadowy things to be Good now, under the Gospel, if Persons are perswaded they are so?
A39306Will ye rather chuse to say that, though it was not so then under the Law; yet it is so now, under the Gospel?
A39306Would they have All, nay, would they have any left to this freedom, to this Liberty, to do their own Wills, in Opposition to God''s Will?
A39306and with what Bodies do they come?
A39306for men so cryed up, as some of them are?
A39306nay, were not this a good sign of a right Christian Mind and Spirit?
A39306or only All that are in Christ, from the Babe in Christ upward?
A39306should that hinder them from taking notice of what they did, or might know, of what was advanced?
A39306the Nil ultra?
A39306the way of Truth was too strait for them?
A39306to be lead into Conformity before Conviction?
A39306to oppose one another?
A39306whether thou seest the Service, or no?
A39306will the Spirit of God lead them that ● e left to the Guidings of it, to Conformity before Conviction?
A39306— And as Christ owns all that''s good, shall not we own it?
A42142And all that your Church of England mislikes, must be Fanaticism, Blaphemy, and Impiety?
A42142And as they erred so grosly in such prime Articles of Christianity, why do you fear and suspect they have also erred in the rest?
A42142And did not he very commendably deny it against them all, because he judged by Scripture it was not?
A42142And do not you know, that almost all our Congregations do hold our Clergy to be no true Clergy, but as meer Laymen as you or I?
A42142And if England be so bold as to say they erred in this, what assurance can we have, but that they erred in the rest?
A42142And is it against Mans reason that he in following Years may meet other Books of Arians, Socinians,& c. and do the like?
A42142And must they be constrain''d to deny or believe, because the fallible Church of England or France will have it so?
A42142And were not Doctor Morton, Fox, Field, and Illiricus, Men of sound Judgment, eminent Learning and Godliness?
A42142And what Jesus Christ are we obliged to believe in?
A42142And what Religion shall I profess if I lay Scripture aside?
A42142And what a greater Authority has a Synod of England, for to prove a Doctrin to be of the Reformation, than a Synod of France which I have produced?
A42142And what difference betwixt you and ● he Church of Rome?
A42142And what if a Popish Priest, or Fryar, did become of our Reformed Church, can he lawfully Marry, whereas be made a Vow of Chastity?
A42142And what then?
A42142And what then?
A42142And why must Luther, Illiricus, Flaccius, and others be forced to deny those Tenets, tho''Protestants or Papists judge them to be damnable?
A42142And why should not it be lawful to any Reformed to believe this, whereas it''s Scripture as interpreted by a Man of so sound a Judgment?
A42142And why should we dare say, our King would commit any, for depriving our Clergy of those Rents?
A42142And why?
A42142And will you deny this to be the Doctrine of the Reformation, whereas it''s Scripture as interpreted by Men of so eminent and sound a Judgment?
A42142Are not Luther, Calvin, Danaeus, Ochinus as well of the Reformation, and Men of as sound Judgment as they?
A42142Are they bound to submit their Judgments to the Church of England, more than to that of Rome?
A42142Because they follow Scripture as they understand it, and this is our Rule of Faith?
A42142But can you prove this Doctrine by the Testimony of any of our Synods?
A42142But do not you see it would be a Sacrilege, that the King should deprive the Clergy of their Church Revenues?
A42142But is there no Tenet of Religion which we are all indispensably obliged to hold?
A42142But what do you think of a Child Christen''d in Popery by a Monk or a Fryar, ought he to be Christen''d again in our Reformation?
A42142But what''s the matter?
A42142By whom were they condemn''d?
A42142Can there be any Synod in England of so great Authority as our wise and prudent Parliaments?
A42142Can you deny but this was the Rule of Faith, and principle of our first blessed Reformers, and of the Church of England, mentioned in her 39 Articles?
A42142Can you prove that our Rule of Faith is Scripture, as any particular Doctor or Person of sound Judgment understands it?
A42142Consequently what is the Doctrine of the Reformation, but what any Person of sound Judgment understands to be of Scripture?
A42142Destroy it?
A42142Did Luther and Calvin forsake the Pope and Councils, for to submit their Judgments to any other?
A42142Did any teach that we may with a safe Conscience change our Religion as you say?
A42142Did ever any Apostle speak with more Courage?
A42142Do you think a Doctrin is not of the Reformation, because it''s denyed by the Church of England?
A42142Does Faith alone justify us?
A42142Does he forsake the Reformation, because he forsakes Lutherism for Calvinism?
A42142Happily?
A42142Have not we many examples of this in our best and most renowned Reformers?
A42142How can you say, I oblige you to believe false and scandalous Tenets?
A42142How long halt ye between two Opinions?
A42142I ca n''t tell, What may be the reason, think you?
A42142I know many of our Congregation mislike much our Common- Prayer Book, for these Popish- Tenets; but what do you say of the grand errours of Popery?
A42142I would gladly know, if it be lawful to chop or change the Text?
A42142If therefore this be Scripture as Interpreted by them, how can you deny it to be the Doctrine of the Reformation?
A42142Is it not the Doctrin of the Reformation that the Apostles were infallible in their Doctrin?
A42142Is not Scripture our Rule of Faith, and are we to regard what any Church or all Churches say, further than we find by Scripture that they say well?
A42142Ismael Does not our Reformation teach that''t is possible to all Men, assisted with God''s Grace, to keep the Commandments?
A42142It''s possible?
A42142Let us ask this Synod by what Rule of Faith does the Reformation walk?
A42142Methinks you become pale, something troubles you, speak, what is it?
A42142Must I believe yours against my Conscience and Knowledge?
A42142Must I not believe that the Doctrin of Jesus Christ, delivered to his Apostles and the Church is true Doctrin?
A42142Must our Rule of Faith be Scripture, as the Church of England understands it, and not otherwise?
A42142No sure; for Calvinism is as much of the Reformation as the other: Is not Protestancy as much the Doctrine of the Reformation as Presbytery?
A42142Nor was it only Luther and Calvin spoke thus, but all our first blessed Reformers; and why?
A42142Or is it not the Doctrin of our Reformation?
A42142Or must not I believe my own?
A42142Or than Luther and Zuinglius our first Reformers, inspired by God, to teach us the purity of the Gospel?
A42142Or what Rule can you give for to know what is good or evil to be done, but Scripture as understood by such Persons?
A42142Shock me?
A42142Sure you will not say this Doctrine is of the Reformation or can be safely believed?
A42142The Lord, who is the Searcher of Hearts knows, you mis- conster my intentions: How can you say I intend to beat you from the Reformation?
A42142The Popes Supremacy is the Doctrin of Popery, who doubts it?
A42142The time may come that they may believe them all, and be still as good Reformers as now they are?
A42142Was it not by the Popish Church?
A42142Was it not from Luther and Zuinglius, that England received the Doctrin of the Reformation?
A42142What Principle is this, which you seem to make the only destinctive sign of a Reformed, from a Papist?
A42142What do you infer from this discourse?
A42142What do you think of Justifying Faith?
A42142What do you think, have not we a Church on earth establisht by Christ, wherein we are to live and serve him, and believe her Doctrin?
A42142What is Calvanism, but what Calvin a particular Doctor judged to be the sence of Scripture against that same Church?
A42142What is Quakerism, but honest Naylor''s Godly and Pious Sentiments upon Scripture?
A42142What must a Man believe for to be a true Reformed?
A42142What need therefore of a Bible for to have Religion?
A42142What say you to the Presbyterians, who prefer their own Sense and Interpretation of the Bible, before that of the Church of England?
A42142What, not Paganism,, which adored a Multitude of Gods, for Christianity which adores but one?
A42142Why?
A42142Will a Presbyterian believe Episcopacy, because the Church of England says it''s the Doctrine of Scripture?
A42142Will you believe Scripture, as it is Interpreted, and in that sense which, the Church, Councils, and Fathers propound unto you?
A42142Will you say this is the Doctrine of the Reformation, or that we can without scruple believe it?
A42142You can never settle any but this, That every Man may without let or hinderance, believe what be pleases; And why should not this be a good Religion?
A42142You say they are Old condemn''d Hereticks; and does this Language become a Child of the Reformed Church?
A42142and why will you not own the Arians,& c. as your Brethren, tho''you believe the Trinity against them?
A42142can a man be a true Child of the Reformation, and yet believe the Popes Supremacy?
A42142do not I insist and perswade you to stick fast to its Rule of Faith, and acknowledge no other but Scripture, as you understand it?
A42142do not they persecute all Non- confor ● ists, as well as Popery?
A42142do you call an exchange of Paganism for Popery( introduced by Austin) a Happiness?
A42142have you met any thing in it, which shocks you?
A42142or because she persecutes the Pro ● essors of it?
A42142why was it not left in the Land?
A42142would Luther have given this liberty if Transubstantiation had not been the Doctrin of the Reformation as well as any other?
A42142you can hardly shew me any Tenet of Popery, but what is it''s Doctrin; what Doctrin more Popish than that of Confession and Absolution from sins?
A40082& c. Where greater Rigour in the World in acting the Observation of the Church Laws?
A40082A Spartan being asked, Quid sciret?
A40082Again, how can any such Power deprive me of my Liberty to compare my Actions with such Rules as I think I am obliged to be governed by?
A40082An Answer to this Question, Whether the Prescribing of Forms of Prayer, for the Publick Worship of God, be not an Encroachment upon Christian Liberty?
A40082An Answer to this Question, Whether the Prescribing of Forms of Prayer, for the Publick Worship of God, be not an Encroachment upon Christian Liberty?
A40082And as for these Motives, can the Heart of Man conceive any more powerful?
A40082And can the Wisdom of man invent more plain, significant and full words, by which to express the Universality of Mankind?
A40082And consequently, how can there be a greater Enemy than the Romish Church is, to that which we have proved to be the true, and most Excellent Liberty?
A40082And dare they say, that he overshot himself in that saying, or passed a mere Complement upon the Corinthians?
A40082And if it be so, what becomes of all those Texts wherein Obedience to Governours is with such strictness required of Christians?
A40082And now what think we?
A40082And therefore can it be thought a grievous thing that God himself should restrain our Liberty?
A40082And think we this that so judge them that have done such a thing, and do the same and so much worse, that we shall escape the judgment of God?
A40082And what great numbers did suffer here in England purely upon the score of Religion in the Reigns of King Henry the Eighth and Queen Mar ●?
A40082And where are poor Mortals made such miserable Slaves as She makes them?
A40082And where is the Lust of Pride and Ambition so gratified to the height as in the Church of Rome?
A40082And, if you are obliged to these things by no Law, how are they Duties?
A40082Are we so in love with the house of Bondage as to be well satisfied to make it the place of our perpetual Residence?
A40082Are we so like Apes as to hug our Clogs, and so like Bedlams as to be fond of our Shackles?
A40082Art thou called being a Servant?
A40082As God said of old to Ierusalem, Wilt thou not be made clean, when shall it once be?
A40082As also what dangerous and next to unavoidable snares doth she lay in the way of those mens Chastity, who would be glad to live honestly?
A40082As for the Head of this Church, can there be a prouder or so proud a Creature upon Gods Earth?
A40082As the Psalmist saith, If the Foundations be destroyed, what shall the Righteous do?
A40082As to the Encouragement she gives to the satisfaction of this Lust, what can be greater than to make simple Fornication a Venial Sin?
A40082But doth not the Relation of a Son necessarily infer Obligation to Obedience?
A40082But what a manifest Circle is this?
A40082But what is it to put an affront upon Authority, if publick Endeavours to withdraw People from Obedience be not so?
A40082But what proof is there of Christ''s having purchased such a Liberty as this?
A40082But who can have the Forehead to fasten such high Presumptions as these upon our Church?
A40082But who seeth not how this tends to beget in mens Minds a most Low and Undervaluing, Gross and Impure Conception of the Deity?
A40082But you will say, how shall I know that I am in the Book of life?
A40082But, Si populus vult decipi, decipiatur, If Folk will be thus cheated and made a prey of, who can help it?
A40082Can he easily conceive of God as a most pure Spirit, that useth to feed his Eyes, and foul his Fancy with bodily Representations of Him?
A40082Can make me Condemn when I ought to Acquit my self, or Acquit when I see reason to Condemn my self?
A40082Can so give Laws to my Conscience, as to necessitate me to receive them for such, and to think them good Laws, and safe to steer my Actions by?
A40082Can we be so unconcerned at what King IESVS hath done for our Redemption, as to refuse to embrace his offers of it?
A40082Can we have such a Hope as this, such a Blessed Hope( as the Apostle calls it) and not heartily endeavour to purifie our selves as God is pure?
A40082Did I say, that these Fearful Threatnings are designed to awaken the most Disingenuous, Stupid and Obdurate Souls?
A40082For how could it follow from hence, that Christ died for some, that therefore all without exception were dead?
A40082For if we be acknowledged to be Competent judges of the true meaning of some Scriptures, why not of all that are as easily intelligible as those are?
A40082For the young Man asking which Commandments?
A40082For where God saith, If I am a Master, where is my Fear?
A40082Had we rather still toil in the Brick- Kilns of Egypt than inherit and possess the good Land; the Land of Peace and Rest, Liberty and Joy?
A40082Hath Christ Iesus taken such an admirable course in order to our being set free from the power of Sin, and its dismal Effects?
A40082Hath he paid so Excessively dear for us, and can we be content that after all he should lose his Purchase?
A40082Hath not our Blessed Lord done Abundantly enough to make us Free indeed; To set us at Liberty from Sin and to Righteousness?
A40082Have they all of them put together done the half quarter part of that Service in this kind, that One Excellent Dean of our Church hath done?
A40082He makes no exception of Sinners or Lost persons, and therefore what can they be less than All Mankind?
A40082How shall I in enquiring after my particular sins, in deed, word and thought, assure my self that I have used my utmost diligence?
A40082How shall I try my self to be elect of God to everlasting life?
A40082I lay down my life for my sheep: But did he ever say, I lay down my life for none but my sheep?
A40082I say, if every one of us can not be certain that Christ died for him, and consequently for all, what motive to obedience can his Death be to us?
A40082If Tully could say of the Lustful man, An ille mihi liber videtur cui mulier imperat?
A40082If a Son shall ask bread of any that is a Father, will he give him a stone?
A40082If we can be Certain, why then not of the truth of the whole Scripture as well as of this single Text?
A40082In short, Who needs Arguments to convince him, that the Church of England is at present our onely Bulwark against Popery?
A40082Is he not also of the Gentiles?
A40082NOW then, after all that hath been said upon this weighty Argument, shall we continue as negligent and cold as ever in Asserting our Liberty?
A40082Nay, are we so void of all Sense as to be unconcerned at the unsupportable Misery which first or last will be the unavoidable consequent thereof?
A40082Now did ever the word All signifie a few?
A40082Now hath Christ been so wonderfully concerned for our Deliverance, and can we our selves be unconcerned?
A40082Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a Serpent?
A40082Or if he shall ask an Egge, will he offer him a Scorpion?
A40082Or is it imaginable that such a one could listen to any temptation whatsoever to continue in Slavery?
A40082Or that Christians are made Free from such Laws in either of these Sences?
A40082Or under the ugly Figure of a Man- Cerberus, or a Man with three Heads upon his shoulders?
A40082Or was it not such a Love as passeth knowledge?
A40082Shall I think him a freeman who is at the command of a woman?
A40082Shall that Liberty which deserves not to be named on the same day with this, be so highly set by, and can we tamely give up this?
A40082So let me say to every Soul that lyeth under the Dominion of Corrupt Affections, Wilt thou not be set at Liberty, when shall it once be?
A40082That She will not allow us the Liberty of judging for our selves?
A40082That as many as fell by the Transgression of Adam, were designed to be recovered by the Righteousness of Christ?
A40082That useth to Worship the Trinity under the Figure of an Old man, with a long Grey Beard, with a Crucifix between his Knees and a Dove in his Breast?
A40082Then let us no longer cry out, O wretched men that we are, who shall deliver us from the body of this death?
A40082This one hath he constituted Prince over all Nations and Kingdoms,( but what to do?
A40082Was ever any miserable Slave heard of that might if he would be set at Liberty, and yet refused?
A40082We ask again, how it appears that the Testimony of the Church is true?
A40082We ask again, how it doth appear that those Notes and Characters they give are true and genuine, and, if they are, that their Church onely hath them?
A40082We ask them, how it appears that the Scriptures are the Word of God?
A40082What Earthly Power can make me Assent to or believe what it pleaseth?
A40082What Heart is so hard as not to bleed at the mere Reading or Hearing such things as these?
A40082What Humility greater than his, shriving himself daily on his knees to an ordinary Priest?
A40082What Severity of life comparable to their Hermits and Capuchins?
A40082What an Ocean of Bloud hath this Ravenous Beast shed of the Saints and of the Prophets of God?
A40082What is Sordid Covetousness, Swinish Lust, Beastly Intemperance, Devilish Rage and Malice, what I say are all these less than so?
A40082What is this but to take Christ''s work out of his hand?
A40082What is this but to tread under foot the Son of God, and that Bloud whereby we are Redeemed?
A40082What slovenly, what ridiculous, what bold and impudent expressions are ordinarily heard from them?
A40082What would we not then gladly part with to regain them, when we are deprived of them?
A40082Where less care or Conscience of the Commandments of God?
A40082Who can believe but that these men would be far more severe Restrainers of Liberty, than those whom they so complain of?
A40082Who poorer by Vow and Profession than their Mendicants?
A40082Who wealthier than their Prelates?
A40082Why do you transgress the Commandments of God by your Traditions?
A40082Will we not exchange this worse than Egyptian Slavery for the Glorious Liberty of the Sons of God?
A40082follows these two very fitly and pertinently, as we now read it, Are ye bought with a price?
A40082he saith also, If I am a Father where is mine Honour?
A40082thus: Are ye bought with a price?
A47927A Limited Toleration must Exclude Some; and why not You, as well as Another?
A47927ANd why by Them, if by Any, I beseech ye?
A47927Again, we are perpetually Alarm''d with Plotts, ye see; Now what better means then a Toleration, to draw the Conspirators into a Body?
A47927And I beseech ye( if a body may ask) what mighty business hinder''d ye?
A47927And I will not deny neither, but there are Good people in the mixture; shall All therefore be Indulg''d for the Honesty of some?
A47927And can you Imagine that so many restless Humours, and disturb''d Consciences, will ever be Quiet without it?
A47927And do not You your self believe it Better to Obey God then Man?
A47927And is not That Every Mans Case as well as Yours?
A47927And may there not be Conspiracies in Scandal, as well as in Schism?
A47927And now to hold you to the Question[ By Whom was the War in Scotland begun?]
A47927And what do ye think of the Sccluded Members?
A47927And what is Your Party, I beseech ye?
A47927And what shall become of him that Preaches it, I beseech ye?
A47927And what was This Cause, I beseech ye, but the Foulest Conspiracy that ever appear''d under that Masque?
A47927And what''s a King without his People?
A47927And which are Those I beseech ye?
A47927And with Your Pardon too, How shall the Magistrate know whether your Conscience is opprest, or no, if he be no Judge of it?
A47927And yet''t was That you Leagu''d and Covenanted to make your Pattern; but where do you Expect to Mend your Self, under That Form of Government?
A47927And, I beseech ye, what is that which you Call Authority?
A47927Answer me Soberly, What if a State should grant a Toleration, for all men to talk of God- Almighty as they please?
A47927Are not These Sons of Zeal worthy of Encouragement, think ye?
A47927Are not the Non- Conformists Numerous?
A47927Are not the People ready to Tumult for want of it?
A47927Are not you Convinc''d, that the most likely way in the world to stir up Subjects against their Prince, is to Proclaim the Iniquity of his Laws?
A47927Are not you as well, Now, without any Toleration at all; as you will be Then without the Benefit of it?
A47927Are they more Naked and Supportless, Now, than they were before the Long Parliament?
A47927Are they one jot the Quieter for''t?
A47927Are they ready to Tumult?
A47927As for the Purpose, What is''t ye stick at?
A47927Ask him now, Where the Danger lies?
A47927At Whose Door Lies the BLOUD of King CHARLES the MARTYR?
A47927At whose Door Lyes the BLOUD of King CHARLES the MARTYR?
A47927Because God spares the Offender, shall Man therefore Tolerate the Offence?
A47927Begin with your Clergy; would you have Them Indulg''d?
A47927Betwixt the very Basis of Christianity, and the Superstructure?
A47927But I beseech ye, Whether do You take to be the Greater Number?
A47927But are not Some Opinions more Tolerable then Others?
A47927But do ye say, we are bound to Honour an Idolatrous Prince?
A47927But is it not Pity,( considering our Duty is Obedience, and not Wisedom) that a Good man should be punished for not being a Wise Man?
A47927But may not a Prince tye himself up in a Thing Otherwise Indifferent?
A47927But tell me, I beseech ye, would you have no Toleration at all?
A47927But the Question is First, Was the World ever without a Government, since the Creation of Man?
A47927But to come to the short of the Question; This is it: Whether will you rather have, One fallible Iudge; or, a Million of Damnable Heresies?
A47927But to go with the Moderate: Would you have All mens Consciences Govern''d by the same Rule, when''t is Impossible to bring them All to the same Mind?
A47927But to the Point in hand; You Apply to the Parliament, and your Grievance is Matter of Conscience; Do ye make the Civil Power a Judge of Conscience?
A47927But what can justifie the very Constitution of a Persecuting Law?
A47927But what do ye mean by those Matters of Religion?
A47927But what if I should Ask you now, Who were the Prime Conductors in That Enterprize?
A47927But what if I should Long as much now to know what''t is that makes you so Inquisitive?
A47927But what if the Subject shall accompt that Imposition Grievous which the Magistrate thinks Necessary?
A47927But what is That Power which you call Nature?
A47927But what is''t you call a Parliament?
A47927But what''s the World to Mee, in the scale against my Soul?
A47927But when the Death is Certain, and the Virtue Doubtfull, who shall decide the Question?
A47927But where are our old Eli''s now, to sit watching and Trembling for fear of the Ark?
A47927But where have you been in Earnest?
A47927But where''s the Mischief of That Sermon I beseech ye?
A47927But where''s your Brother- Scruple?
A47927But who shall be Iudg of That?
A47927But who shall be Judg of what''s Indifferent?
A47927But why do I stand Fencing in a Case, where all that''s good for ought, even in the Favour''d Party, runs nigh an equal Perill?
A47927But why do ye say, Persecuted?
A47927But why should a Toleration do worse Here than in Holland?
A47927But why should the same Process of Means, and the same Application of Causes, be Ascrib''d only to Instinct in Brutes, and to Reason in Man?
A47927But will not People be much more Peaceable, when they are Oblig''d, than when they are Persecuted?
A47927But would you have That Probability, Govern by Unquestionable, and Authoritative Conclusions?
A47927But, What do ye think, when the Making of One Law is the Transgression of Another?
A47927But, prethee why was he Clapt up?
A47927By whom I beseech ye was the Rebellion in Ireland begun?
A47927By whom I beseech ye, was He Persecuted, Divested of All his Regalities, Assaulted, Immur''d, Depos''d, and Murder''d, but By Your Party, Gentlemen?
A47927Can not Liberty of Conscience then consist with Civil Obedience?
A47927Can there be any sin without Consent?
A47927Can you either name Those Opinions, which you would have Indulg''d; or can you Expect a Toleration for all Opinions at a venture?
A47927Can you imagine, that any Condition in the Delinquent can operate upon the Force, and Equity of the Law?
A47927Can you remember the steps of the last Warr, and be of that Opinion?
A47927Can you say This, and not blush to Deny the Force of your own Argument?
A47927Can you your self Acquit him?
A47927Come leave your Lashing, and tell me Soberly; What hurt do you find in''t?
A47927Consider again; If there be any Hazard, wherein does it consist?
A47927David was Pronounc''d a Man after God''s own Heart; shall Authority therefore grant a License to Murther and Adultery?
A47927Did Wee sell him?
A47927Did not the Presbyterians Vote His Majesties Concessions a Ground for a Treaty?
A47927Did ye do Well, or Ill in''t?
A47927Do not You find your self Foul now upon the Old Rock of Universal Toleration again?
A47927Do not you take Mr. — for a very sober well- weigh''d Person?
A47927Do not you take the Persecuting Party to be generally in the Wrong?
A47927Do so, What is''t?
A47927Do ye Remember what he Says concerning his Promises from Breda?
A47927Do ye Wonder at it?
A47927Do ye mean, that it must be expressly mark''d out, and commanded There; or will it serve the Turn, if it be only not Prohibited?
A47927Do ye put no Difference betwixt Points Fundamentally Necessary, and but Accidentally so?
A47927Do ye think such a Toleration as This, either fit for You to Ask, or for Authority to Grant?
A47927Do you believe, That it should ever have gone so far, if we Two could have Hinder''d it?
A47927Do''s not the Act for Uniformity Debar us of it?
A47927Does it follow that they have no Power, because they do not Exercise it?
A47927Does not God command, that the Tares should be let alone till the Harvest?
A47927Does not That Opinion destroy Christian Liberty?
A47927Find it say ye?
A47927For put Case, The King should Grant ye a Limited Toleration; would That Quiet ye?
A47927For the Punishment of Evil- Doers, is the one half of the Magistrates Commission: and what''s an Evil- Doer, but the Transgressour of a Law?
A47927Fourthly, The Enemies of God Blaspheme, and are ready to say, Where is your God?
A47927From whom do ye Expect it?
A47927Go to Scruple; If That be not the scope of your Monstrous Earnestness for a Toleration, pray''e tell me what is?
A47927Go to, speak Truth, What made You and your Ladies so early abroad this Morning?
A47927Have you forgot your self so soon?
A47927Have you read the Kings late Declaration of December 26?
A47927Have you well consider''d what will be the Fruit of Granting that Liberty?
A47927How Inconsistent then is the Liberty of the Pulpit, with the Safety of the Government?
A47927How comes it now that You Two, that can never Agree betwixt your selves, should yet Joyn in a Petition against Us?
A47927How comes it now, that we that Agree so well i''the End, should Differ so much''i th''Way to''t?
A47927How do They know when Christ was Born, or Crucify''d?
A47927How do you know but you may Persecute God Himself, in a Right Conscience?
A47927How far are his Lawes binding upon his Subjects?
A47927How long do you believe that Government would stand, where the Multitude should take notice that their Rulers are afraid of them?
A47927How shall I know This from That, without Enquiry?
A47927How shall the Magistrate Distinguish, whom he should Punish, and whom Not?
A47927How will you Reconcile your Duty, and your Conscience, in This Case?
A47927How will you divide your Duty?
A47927I sent ye his Sermon last night, have ye overlookt it?
A47927I suppose, I shall not need to tell ye the Event of it; But of which side were the Tender Consciences, For the King, or Against Him?
A47927I will not Deny, but Ill things have been done: Shall All therefore be Condemn''d, for the Faults of Some?
A47927I would you''d deal frankly with me: What is( really) your Opinion of the Honesty of your Party?
A47927If Infallibility you can not find, why may not the the Fairest Probability Content you?
A47927If he bee, How comes Your Conscience to take Place of His Authority?
A47927If he chance to be slain:''T is but an f Accident; and who can help it?
A47927If it be demanded in what capacity the King may be Resisted?
A47927If such People as These may be Tolerated, where''s your ▪ Foundation of Faith, Good Life, and Government?
A47927If ye Disclaim it, why do ye Petition to your Inferiour?
A47927If you had put the Contrary Question, Y''had Pos''d me: Are not the Non- Conformists the Kings Subjects?
A47927If you say, The Non- conformists; then They are not Honest enough to be Trusted;( would you have the King Gratifie the Murtherers of his Father?)
A47927In good time; and what''s the Scope of your Petition?
A47927Is any honest man the better for the Last War?
A47927Is he at Liberty then?
A47927Is it Reason think ye, that makes a Dog follow his Nose, and hunt for Meat when hee''s Hungry?
A47927Is it not well then, to be Sure of the One, and in so fair Hopes of the Other?
A47927Is it the Model, or the Uniformity that troubles you?
A47927Is not God to be found in a Parlour, as well as in a Steeple- House?
A47927Is not That Crime enough?
A47927Is not That Sermon think ye that you sent me last Night a pretty Squib to cast into a populous ▪ Town, that''s Preach''d half to Gunpowder already?
A47927Is not This to Charge the Church of England with Apostacy?
A47927Is not the Civil Magistrate God''s Substitute too?
A47927Is not the Word of God a sufficient Iudge?
A47927Is this your Eight a clock?
A47927Is''t not so?
A47927Liberty of Conscience?
A47927Look back to the beginning of the Late Warr, and tell me; Do not you believe that there are more Non- Conformists Now, then there were Then?
A47927Marqu''d for Destruction?
A47927May not every thing Imaginable appear Non- Indifferent to some or other; if nothing can be commanded, but what upon such a Phansy may be Disobey''d?
A47927May not the same thing be Indifferent to One, and not so to Another?
A47927Nay, Certainly the Popular Form was first, for How could there be a King without a People?
A47927Not at all; Your Actions indeed are Limited, but your Thoughts are Free; What do''s This or That Garment, or Gesture Concern the Conscience?
A47927Now place the Power where ye please; Do ye own the Kings Authority, or do ye Disclaim it?
A47927Now tell me, What Right have You to be Judges in your own Case, any more then They in Theirs?
A47927Now the Question is not, Whether Imputed or not, but whether a Sin or no?
A47927One man may have a Reall Scruple; and All the Rest, Pretend one; Who shall Distinguish?
A47927Or do ye accompt the Sanction of any One Form Whatsoever, to be Lawfull?
A47927Or that we owe them less After Misgovernment, than we did Before?
A47927Or why should not All be Tolerated as well as Any?
A47927Or will ye call it Choyce, if he leaves a Turfe for a Bone?
A47927Pray''e let mee ask you One Question: Who Brought in This King?
A47927Pray''e where have You your Intelligence?
A47927Prethee is''t a Secret?
A47927Put case we were, what Then?
A47927Ruine of Liberty?
A47927Scruple, What say You to This?
A47927Secondly, Whether was first in the World, One Man, or More?
A47927Shall the King therefore Dissolve the Law, because there are so many Criminals?
A47927Shall the Magistrate make me Act against my Conscience?
A47927Shall the People be left to do what they List, because a great many of them, would do what they should not?
A47927Shall the Subject make Him Tolerate against His?
A47927Shall the Vice or Error of the Person, blemish the faultless Dignity of the Order?
A47927Shall we stand to his Award what ever it be?
A47927So that the Issue lies within This Compass; Whether the Soveraignty be in the King, or in the People?
A47927Soft and fair, I beseech ye; what is''t you undertake to do?
A47927Suppose the Determination to be manifest Errour, or Injustice; would you have the same Submission pay''d to''t, as if it were Equity, and Truth?
A47927Take a- away the Sanction, and what signifies the Law?
A47927The Ark of God is( at this instant) in Danger of being lost, D''ye see?
A47927The Loss of the Ark?
A47927The Question in hand is This; Whether the Nonconformists be not an Intelligent, as: well as a Numerous and Wealthy Party?
A47927The Question is, Upon Whom the Guilt of the Kings Bloud lyes?
A47927The Truth is, I am not yet Resolv''d to Burn for This Opinion; but what do ye think of a Limited, or Partial Toleration?
A47927Their Opinions,& c. — For to Tolerate, No body knowes Whom, or What, would be a little with the Largest, I think; would it not?
A47927Those that singly wish to be Discharg''d from the Act of Uniformity; or Those that would have no Law at all?
A47927To give you a fresh Instance; What could be more Pious, Gracious, or Obliging, then his Majesties Late Declaration, in Favour of the Non- conformists?
A47927Truth, or Authority?
A47927Very Good, and what do ye think as to Matter of Conscience?
A47927WHat ha''s your Party( Gentlemen) Merited from the Publique, that an Exception to a General Rule, should be Granted in Your Favour?
A47927WHat''s your Opinion of the Necessity of a Iudge?
A47927Was Peters a Presbyterian?
A47927We have it now from the same Hand, that the Ark is in Danger, and what''s that but The Good Old Cause over again, only a little vary''d in the Dress?
A47927Weigh now the Good against the Bad; What if it stands?
A47927Well, and How do ye find it?
A47927Well, but supposing these unhappy Clashings among Themselves, how does that prove them in Confoederacy against the Publique?
A47927Well, but what''s This to Us, or Our Opinions?
A47927Were''t not a Thousand Pitties now, to refuse This Tender Sort of Christians a Toleration?
A47927What Act so Horrid, that has not past for a Divine Impulse; and( if it Hit) the Author of it for an Inspired Instrument of Iustice?
A47927What Design could They have in That?
A47927What Mortal can pretend to take it from ye?
A47927What Prerogative have You above Your Fellows?
A47927What Reason of State can You now produce that may Move his Majesty to Grant the Non- Conformists a Toleration?
A47927What Sort of Ruine do ye mean?
A47927What are their Names?
A47927What could the Wit of Man add more to This Temptation to Apostacy?
A47927What do ye think of Poland then?
A47927What do ye think of Preston- Fight?
A47927What do ye think of Rutherford?
A47927What follows upon''t?
A47927What if a Single Person hitts That Truth which a General Council Misses?
A47927What if it yields?
A47927What is This but a meer Trifling of Government, to suppose a Law without an Obligation?
A47927What is This, but to bring Authority to the Barr, and set the Subject upon the Bench?
A47927What is it rather( you should have said) that Excites Sedition, and Depopulates Kingdomes, but the Contrary?
A47927What is it that either Invites Tyranny, or Upholds it, but the Opinion of an Unaccomptable- Sovereignty?
A47927What is it, but in plain Terms, to sollicit the Multitude to a Tumult?
A47927What is the Duty of the Supreme Magistrate?
A47927What not in Case of Errour?

A921401 Did the Oracle speak immediately to all the actors in the stoning?
A921401, 2, 3. in tolerating false teachers?
A9214010. that we are not to beleeve, but to avoid?
A9214011. what need of witnesses?
A9214011?
A9214012. and enquire and make search, and aske diligently if the thing be truth and certaine?
A9214013 And to what Church, Sect, or Religious societie can the Christian Magistrate be a nurse- father by his office?
A9214013. formally denyed God the Creator?
A9214013?
A9214015. be as unlawfull as the drawing of the sword against false teachers?
A9214015. if it were arrogancie and an intruding upon Gods Cabinet counsel to judge a false Prophet by his doctrine to be a false Prophet?
A9214015. who say that God is a cow, a calf, a fish, why?
A9214017. by the Law then?
A9214018, holdeth he not forth that the Theif, the Robber, and the Slanderer are knowable?
A9214018. that they would make a new heart?
A921402 Query, Were the people infallible in discerning the Priest to be a true relater of the mind of God from the Oracle?
A921402 Was not the cutting off of the murtherer out of that good land, as typicall as the cutting off of the blasphemer?
A921402 We thinke Mr. Williams Arguments weake and Anabaptisticall, we should not swear such a Covenant 〈 ◊ 〉 why?
A921402 What a prophanation of the holy name of God bringeth this?
A9214023. only false Prophets, to whom he extended patience many hundred yeers, even from Moses till his owne coming in the flesh?
A9214024. must be spared 120 yeeres?
A9214024. would dissemble?
A921403 And if he doe Good, and be an expression of the wisdome of God by being an heretick, why is he as chaffe casten in unquenchable fire?
A921403 Is there any bodily punishment, but it is carnall and afflictive?
A921403 Query, Was the Priest infallible in discerning the Oracle and relating the mind of God to the people?
A921403. for rulers are not a terrour to good works but to the evil, wilt thou then not be afraid of the power?
A921404 Is punishment, and cutting off from the Church by death typicall, because bodily?
A921405 If we sift every graine of the text, we must say that the Magistrate makes a doubt, Lord, shall I draw the sword against bloody men and traytors?
A92140A wounded spirit who can beare it?
A92140Aman can not( saith the Bounder) beleeve at his own will, how much lesse at anothers?
A92140An hereticke avoid,& c. when Solomon saith, Make not friendship with an angry man, is not the formality of anger in the heart?
A92140And exhorts to it) an over- doing?
A92140And how shall they beleeve in him of whom they never heard?
A92140And how shall they judge hereticks sinning against a Gospell of which they never heard?
A92140And must our lively hope be bottomed on mens credit and learning?
A92140And since Mr. Goodwin acknowledgeth a supernaturall power of the Spirit of Grace to beleeve; what else doth this Spirit cause us beleeve, but lyes?
A92140And the Pastors and Church, shal we cast out the leaven that leaveneth the whole lumpe?
A92140And was not this fallible as well as ours under the new Testament?
A92140And what is the quarrell, but divers Religions and waies of worship about Christ?
A92140And what is this but the highest degree of banishment?
A92140And what vengeance shall lye upon the stones, fields, of Romish Babylon?
A92140And why did you simply without any limitation sweare to endeavour the preservation of the Reformed Religion?
A92140And why may not we, notwithstanding of our fallibility and actuall erring, judge and drive away by the sword, devourers of the flock, as well as they?
A92140And why was Jeremiah persecuted?
A92140And why( saith Augustine) should Sorcerers find the rigor of the Law from Emperors, and Hereticks and Schismaticks go free?
A92140And yet they deny not God the Creator, nor the Scriptures of the old Testament, and by this answer they are free of all bodily punishment?
A92140Are not Papists though known Papists, to be Judges, and Members of Parliament?
A92140Are there no powers ordained of God, but Roman Magistrates?
A92140Are we not also unable to abstain from murther, adulterie,& c. without the supernatural grace of God?
A92140Art thou made of the Kings Counsell?
A92140Artaxerxes knew not the Law of God, which he confirmed, how then could be judge it?
A92140As well as we may?
A92140But Christ rebuked them and said, yee know not what manner of spirit yee are of?
A92140But how?
A92140But if it was sworne to as the Reformed Religion, was it not according to the word of God?
A92140But the Apostles sought not Laws from the Emperors, by which Hereticks might be compelled to imbrace the sound faith?
A92140But the Magistrate( say Liberti ● es) should not judge what is heresie, what sound doctrine, why?
A92140But the particulars of your directorie of worship are not in Scripture, how then can the Magistrate punish for not following the Directorie?
A92140But there were false Prophets also among the people, as there shall be false teachers among you?
A92140But what warrant hath he, thus to make God the author of sinne?
A92140But when did Christ sow the good seed of the Gospel first?
A92140But why should they be punished then who blaspheme, commit Idolatry?
A92140But why then may not a Christian Magistrate, as a Christian, if not as a Magistrate be a Vicar of Christ?
A92140But will it not be bitternesse in the end?
A92140Can a man be the lesse hereticall, and his society the lesse detestable then, that he thinks his heresie is sound doctrine?
A92140Caspensis?
A92140Did God ever accept of faith and repentance extorted through feare of a direfull sword?
A92140Did not the people of Israel suffer the Gentiles to stay in their land, and enjoy their own Religion without troubling of them?
A92140Either as a Parliament, and so by the sword: is not here yet the Prelates conscience squeezed to the blood?
A92140Ergo Christ would not have faithfull pastors to complaine both to God, and to preach against Rulers who punish not uncorrigible adulterers?
A92140Ergo Ministers should complaine to the Godly Magistrate of no omissions at all?
A92140Ergo the Judges under the new Testament who accuse, judge and condemn adulterers, are not followers of Christ?
A92140Ergo, We should extend to bloodie Murtherers of the Lords Prophets, the like patience, and not kill them, for then they are past hope of being gained?
A92140Goodwin, who asserteth a Catholike toleration of all religions, upon the ground of weaknes of freewill, and want of grace?
A92140How beleeved they then some lying Priests who persecuted the Prophets of God?
A92140How did Caiaphas say, What need we any more witnesse, We have heard himself blaspheme?
A92140How is not the killing of the murtherer typicall?
A92140How is that proved?
A92140How much better were it, if we would nourish peace and concord leaving interpretations free to every man?
A92140How then did they say, he is worthy to dye?
A92140Hypocrisie brings this?
A92140If they thrust people away from the Lord that hath ransomed them from Hell?
A92140Is it Popery to advise him so to doe; or to pray when he wants the Spirit?
A92140Is not Christ as meek to whores, publicans, the theife and robber on the crosse, persecutors, and to seducing teachers and hereticks?
A92140Is there no way to come to Gods harbour, but by sayling in the Devills boat?
A92140It respecteth onely the Church of the Jewes, why?
A92140Know ye we are selfe- condemned?
A92140May not reading, interpunction, a parenthesis, a letter, an acc ● m, alter the sense of all fundamentalls in the Decalogue?
A92140Mr. John Goodwin with better ground saith, they hold in all, for must we hold that which is good onely in non- fundamentalls?
A92140None then can bee witnesses under the New Testament to sweare, but such as are regenerate, where is this divinity warranted?
A92140Nor wil it suffice to say, to offer a man to God and kill him, is against the light of nature, and vincibly a sin; what then?
A92140Of the letting out of the Vineyard to those that killed the serv ● ● ts, and the heire, and brought forth ill fruite?
A92140Of this sort is the Pamphleters objection, Religion should not be inacted by the Lawes of the Magistrate, why?
A92140Or if it be, because the substance of the Oath is sin, in that we sweare to put to death the innocent and unrenewed?
A92140Passe over the Isles, and goe to Turkey, to America, and see if such a thing as this hath been?
A92140Should an ignorant man say the Commanding Ministeriall power of the Gospel which saith, except ye beleeve ye shall die in your sins, needlesse?
A92140Should any say, there is no such 〈 ◊ 〉 knowable, should he not contradict the Holy Ghost?
A92140Since Synods may erre, how then place they religion in securitie?
A92140So Elias said to Achab, Hast thou killed and also gotten possession?
A92140So does the bloody Tenet, 1 The Magistrate should not send the Heretick to the Church, to heale the Heretick; why?
A92140So say I, what can preaching of man or angel doe without God, is it not God and God only who can open the heart?
A92140Synods may impose upon others and how?
A92140The theefe in the night?
A92140Then poore Popery, why art thou evill spoken of?
A92140Therefore Paul might not deliver them to Sathan?
A92140This Law, if it did lye upon the strangers and heathen, then; it was not judiciall, but it must lye on us Gentiles, now; Who can free us from it?
A92140To Judge according to the sentence of the Law of God delivered to Moses?
A92140To know revealed truths of God is a commanded worship of God?
A92140To which I answer: And did not the Lord require a willing people then in the Old Testament as now?
A92140WHat is naked and meere simple heresie( say the Belgick Arminians) but a meere device?
A92140Wallacria,& c.( what a letter most contradicent to that might they now write?)
A92140What Scripture maketh the beleeving of lyes, a certain hazard of losing most saving truths?
A92140What are those wounds in thy hands?
A92140What can an Anabaptist alleadge more to prove there ought to be no Magistrates under the new Testament?
A92140What deductions the spirit makes in the soule of an elect, knowing but a few f ● ● dam, and going out of this life, thou knoweth?
A92140What doth this prove?
A92140What if a man void of the Spirit can not pray; ergo, we should not advise him to pray?
A92140What if the Magistrate in punishing heresie, differ from the Church, and strike with the sword, for that which the Church thinkes no heresie?
A92140What inferre Libertines hence against us?
A92140What masacring of people by civill wars?
A92140What needeth the Eunuch a teacher, or Cornolius Peter, or Saul Ananias to teach them?
A92140What of all these?
A92140What shall then the Magistrate doe?
A92140What shall we doe to be saved?
A92140What then shal become of the Covenant?
A92140What then?
A92140What then?
A92140What would this authour give an Atheist leave to say?
A92140What?
A92140What?
A92140Where are the ten Commandements set down in the New Testament in expresse words of Scripture order?
A92140Where reads ▪ Mr. Williams that Christ and his Messengers are to charge the Magistrate to give libertie to Wolves, Boares, Lions, Foxes?
A92140Whether Heresie be a sin or a meer error and innocencie, whether an Heretick be an evill doer?
A92140Whether heresie be a sin, or a meer error and innocency: whether a ● hereticke be an evill doer?
A92140Whether is not reason as strong to refute errours fundamentall as non- fundamentall?
A92140Whether this be not the old argument of 〈 ◊ 〉 who argued from liberty of free- will to conclude liberty of conscience?
A92140Who can reveale and infuse supernaturall nation and truth but the spirit?
A92140Why doe ye persecute me as God?
A92140Why to them more then to Famili ● s?
A92140Why?
A92140Will it follow that the Jewes should be tollerated still, and perpetually to circumcise and keepe the Ceremoniall law, and to teach others so to doe?
A92140Will this man let us hear Logick?
A92140Yea but what shall be done when the Priest and Prophet of God himselfe is called in question?
A92140a lapide ascribe to their Appollo at Rome?
A92140all ou ● comforts of the Scriptures into the reelings of a Wind- mill, and pha ● cies of seven Moons at once in the firmament?
A92140and Bishops Courts, and Consistories continued?
A92140and Idol- shepheards suffered?
A92140and a tale- bearing?
A92140and again, when another unjust King Reignes, they return to their vomit, is this against Nationall righteousnesse and Magistracy?
A92140and doth he foretell of such coggers and jugglers, and yet presupposeth none on earth shall be able to know them?
A92140and doth hee force the Jesuits conscience?
A92140and is there any man who will willingly chuse eternall destruction?
A92140and saw you Gods secret book, and saw our names dashed out of the book of life, and that we are inrolled with Ishmalites?
A92140and such as beleeved in vaine?
A92140and that power which they bring into the New Ierusalem?
A92140and this is a lie; why?
A92140and what Royal power to protect the true Church in their persons and estates as they doe the false?
A92140and what comfort have we in Christs death, if he suffered not that which is equivalent to eternall wrath?
A92140and whereas the servants say, 28. wilt thou then that we go and ● ather them up?
A92140and whosoever suffer for monstrous heresies, must they suffer as the Apostles did?
A92140but so s ● ander free preaching or free Synodicall complaining to the Magistrate?
A92140for either that which 〈 ◊ 〉 asserteth is true, or false, if it be true, why admit we is not?
A92140forbear, why shouldest thou be smitten?
A92140had these beene beaten downe, had not we under God, as a forlorne hope first given them battell?
A92140had they not the Scriptures?
A92140have not some in France, in Holland, in England made defection to Judaisme and Tur ● isme, and turned Apostates from Christ?
A92140how can we avoid an Heretick more then a Saint, if we may not lawfully judge an heretick to be an Heretick?
A92140how can ye say, we hinder Reformation?
A92140is it not to the one, onely true Church of Christ, that professeth the sound faith?
A92140is it reformed, and not according to the word of God?

A92140nor doth sedition make heresie punishable; so they make heresie nothing but a name, who( say they) can say an hereticke is an evill doer?
A92140of the principles of the Gospel?
A92140or at best phancies resolved into humane credit?
A92140or shall not foure hundred Michajahs declare the minde of God to the Prince, because so many false Prophets speake the contrary?
A92140shall he aske the Oracle, whether he himselfe be the false Prophet or no?
A92140shall it follow, that robbers and murtherers, 〈 ◊ 〉 as Barra ● ● s, may not under the New Testament be 〈 ◊ 〉?
A92140shall then Achab heare the voice of the Lord in no Prophet, because foure hundred speake lyes?
A92140should it ever oblige us to beleeve in him, who justifieth the ungodly?
A92140should not we have had bowells of iron, if in charity, wee had not beleeved our brethrens words, oaths, pro ● essions?

A47928But after all This; What are these People, for Number, and Resolution, that make such a Clutter?
A47928But as to the matter of Conscience; Did you Well, or Ill in''t?
A47928But can you shew me, that an Uniformity of Service, and Rituals is any where forbidden?
A47928But can you tell me What was the Ground of the Quarrel?
A47928But does it therefore follow, that ALL things Lawful to be done, are comprehended in the Scripture?
A47928But the Q ● … estion is; First: Was the World ever without a Government, since the Creation of M ● … n?
A47928But to go with the Moderate: Would you have all Mens Consciences Gobern''d by the same Rule?
A47928But to the Business: What would you say, if his Majesty now in being, had Queen Elizabeth''s Game to Play?
A47928But what have I more to do, then to pass Sentence upon you, out of your own Mouths?
A47928But what if a Man should allow the Non- Conformists to be as valuable as you represent them?
A47928But what if he should prove Refractary, and dispute yo ● … r Authority?
A47928But what is the Sober Part the Worse for these Extravagants?
A47928But what is your Opinion of the Honesty of the Party?
A47928But what makes you couple the Crown, and the Mitre still?
A47928But what will become of That Exception, when I shall tell you, that those People are no more Independent, then the Presbyterians?
A47928But why not Kneeling, as well as either Sitting, or Standing?
A47928But why should a man expect to scape for WORDS, where THOUGHT it self is Censurable?
A47928But will you hear the Kirk speak for it self, after the putting of the King into English Hands?
A47928But would you have him Unaccomptable, or no?
A47928C. And What is it in the Subsciption( I beseech you) that you stumble at?
A47928C. And because This is possible, is the Odds therefore upon One against a Thousand?
A47928C. And is not That every Man''s Case, as well as yours?
A47928C. And were it not a greater Pitty, do ye think, for a State to keep no Check upon Crafty Knaves, for fear of disobliging some Well- meaning Fools?
A47928C. And what will This avail You, if it appears otherwise to the Governours Themselves?
A47928C. Are You In ● … endent then?
A47928C. Are they only NEEDLESS, INEXPEDIENT, and FIT to be Abolish''d then?
A47928C. But What if the Dissenters shall call that Sound Doctrine, which the Church defines Heresie?
A47928C. But is it not a strange thing( my Good Friend) for so many Men to be Mad at a Time; and to be Mad the Same Way too?
A47928C. But what will this amount to?
A47928C. Can you imagine that any Condition in the Delinquent can operate upon the Force and Equity of the Law?
A47928C. Can you shew me that Kneeling at the Lord''s Supper has been forbidden, where Kneeling at other parts of Publique Worship has been Allow''d?
A47928C. Do not you know, that Toleration is as good, as an Issue in a Government?
A47928C. FITLY, will be well indeed; But( with your Favour) what is the meaning of FITLY?
A47928C. How can you say This, and consider what you say, without blushing?
A47928C. How comes it now, that we, that accord so well in the End, should differ so much in the Way to''t?
A47928C. How do you mean?
A47928C. Is it Reason, think ye, that makes a Dog follow his Nose, and Hunt for Meat, when he is Hungry?
A47928C. Is it not rather your Misfortune, to write after the foulest Copies?
A47928C. Is it the Model, or the Uniformity you stick at?
A47928C. Keep to That, and Answer me once again; Is not the Civil Magistrate God''s Substitute too?
A47928C. Of Which Side were the Tender Consciences?
A47928C. Or rather, Is not he madder that doubts it?
A47928C. Pray''e say: Was it ever better, since Non- Conformists came into the World?
A47928C. THe Non- Conformists are the Party that desire a Toleration; Pray let me ask ye, What are their Opinions?
A47928C. WHat are your Exceptions to Our Way of Worship?
A47928C. WHat has your Party Merited from the Publique, that an Exception to a General Rule should be Granted in your Favour?
A47928C. WHat is it that you call Hard Measure, and Persecution?
A47928C. Was not Queen Elizabeth told of Thousands, and Hundreds of Thousands, that sighed for the Holy Discipline?
A47928C. What Do you think of the Anabaptists, Brownists, Quakers,& c?
A47928C. What Hinders then, but we may try it that way too?
A47928C. What do ye think then of your National Covenant?
A47928C. What do you mean by Fundamentals?
A47928C. What is all This now, but an Universal Toleration, in a Disguise?
A47928C. What is it rather( you should have said) that Excites Sedition, and Depopulates Kingdoms, so much as the Contrary?
A47928C. Why may not the Church impose a Stinted Form upon the Minister, as well as the Minister,( if he so pleases) upon the People?
A47928C. Why should not We Two shake Hands now, and Join in the Act for Uniformity?
A47928C. Why will you Practise that Cruelty your selves then, which you condemn in others?
A47928C. Will Toleration suite All Iudgments, any better then Uniformity?
A47928C. Will it not then follow, that a Man may worship the Sun, or the Moon, and yet be true to God, if That Worship be according to his Conscience?
A47928C. Will ye see then what they did afterward, when they were at Liberty to do what they listed?
A47928C. Without Dispute, Some Opinions and Principles are more allowable then Others: But where lieth the Right of Allowing, or Rejrcting?
A47928C. Would you have a Law that shall Comply with all Consciences?
A47928C: So was the Son before the Father, you may say, for How could there be a Father without a Son?
A47928Can not the Church put an End to Strife among Brethren, as well as the Civil Magistrate?
A47928Can you say that the English, or Scottish Preshyters did ever go about to Dissolve Monarchy?
A47928Can you shew me that any Non- Conforming Roman Catholicks are Tolerated There?
A47928DOEST THOU Believe?
A47928David was pronounced a Man after God''s own Heart; shall Authority therefore grant a License to Murder and Adultery?
A47928Deposed, upon the Encouragement, and with the Approbation of Willock, Knox, and their Fellows?
A47928Did not the Kirk Excommunicate the whole Multitude for a Robin- Hood?
A47928Did they not by their Proper Authority Discharge the Munday- Market in Edinburgh?
A47928Do They know What They would be At?
A47928Do you not find our Meetings Thronged, and many of your Churches Empty?
A47928Do you pretend to know their Hearts then?
A47928Do you put no Difference betwixt Truth and Errour?
A47928Does it follow, because Religion may be made a Cloak for a Rebellion, That, therefore, It is never to be Pleaded for a Reformation?
A47928Does not our Saviour foretell us of False Christs, and False Prophets, that shall arise and deceive many; yea, if it were possible, the very Elect?
A47928Does not this hold as well for Us, as it did for You?
A47928Fifthly, What are they for Number, and Resolution?
A47928Finally, What have they to say for all This, But that This is One Man''s Judgment, That Another''s?
A47928First, What kind of People they are; Secondly, What It is They would have; Thirdly, What will the Kingdom be the better for Granting their Desires?
A47928For With what face can I destre a Courtesse from Him, to whom I do onenly prosess, 〈 ◊ 〉 would deny the same Courtesse?
A47928For the King; Or Against Him?
A47928For what are they the worse, for a Penalty, that is never Executed?
A47928For what is the Difference betwixt WEDDED, and MARRIED, but that the One wears the Stamp of the Law- Makers, and the Other, of the Law- Menders?
A47928Fourthly, What are their Grievances, as the Case stands with them at present?
A47928From That Prince, to whose Blessed Father( in the Depth of his Agonies) you cruelly deny''d the Use, and Service of his own Chaplains?
A47928From this miserable Perplexity of Mind, what can be expected, but Despair, and Confusion?
A47928Further; If it was to the Prejudice of our Cloathing Trade,( This Separation) Who can help it?
A47928Has not your General Assembly, rather the Face of a Council of State, then of a Counsel of the Church?
A47928Here''s Your Character: Now to Your D ● … mands, What is it You would have?
A47928How can it chuse but bring the Simple a Thousand Times to their Wit ● … End?
A47928How can you say This?
A47928How could That be; when the Two Houses, by Purging, and Modelling, were Subjected Absolutely to the Devotion of the Army?
A47928How far, I beseech you, are Humane Laws Binding?
A47928How many Plots have they had upon this Kingdom, since his Majesties Return?
A47928How many have they driven to leave the Ministry, and live by Physique?
A47928How shall Authority Distinguish of Which Number You your selves are; so long as You remain under this Concealment?
A47928How shall I behave my self, I pray''e, if the King command one thing, and God another?
A47928How shall I know This from That, without Enquiry?
A47928How shall we agree upon the Dos?
A47928How was it with Trade, when Conscience took the full Swinge?
A47928How was the Covenant entertein''d?
A47928How was the Protestant Interest( I beseech you) United in the late Dissolution of Government; When Every Man did that which was Right in his own Eyes?
A47928How went Trading on, when all Business was neglected, but Gallopping up and down to Lectures, to hear News, and Sedition?
A47928How will you divide your Duty?
A47928How will you reconcile your Duty, and your Conscience, in This Case?
A47928However, what''s your Quarrel to it?
A47928If He be, How comes your Conscience to take place of his Authority?
A47928If He chance to be Slain,''T is but an Accident; and who can help it?
A47928If Infallibility you can not find, why may not the fairest Probability content you?
A47928If They were Tolerated Themselves, Would They Tolerate One Another?
A47928If he will needs thrust Himself upon the Hazard, when he needs not, Whose Fault is That?
A47928If so, tell me I beseech you, Why may not We take the same Freedom with the Non- Conformists, that You do with the Papists?
A47928In fine, Betwixt such Principles as affect Order and Publique Agreement, and others that flow Naturally into Loosness and Confusion?
A47928In the first Place; What is the Judgment of the Reformed Churches abroad, touching the English Episcopacy?
A47928Is it not now evident, that they are the worse for good usage?
A47928Is it not well then, to be sure of the One, and in so fair a Likelihood of the Other?
A47928Is it th ● … Imposition it self, or the Thing Imposed, that displeases you?
A47928Is not This at one Blow to destroy the Order of all Relations, Political, Natural, and Moral?
A47928Is not This, Streining at a Gnat, and swallowing a Camel?
A47928Is not this a Dethroning of Majesty, to set Princes, and Peasants upon the same Level in point of Subjection to their Resolutions and Decrees?
A47928Knewstubb indeed boggled a little, and desired to know, How far an Ordinance of the Church was Binding, without Offence to CHRISTIAN LIBERTY?
A47928Let me but understand now, Upon what Subject shall that Power be Exercis''d; If you exclude Things Indifferent?
A47928N C. Where should we look for the Foundation of our Faith, but in the New- Testament of Jesus Christ?
A47928N. C, And what are you the better, If I should grant it; unless we could All come to an Agreement, about what is Indifferent, and what not?
A47928N. C. According to what Latitude are we to understand that which you call the Foundation of FAITH?
A47928N. C. And I beseech you, What is That, which you call AUTHORITY?
A47928N. C. And do not you your self believe it better to Obey God, then Man?
A47928N. C. And does not This way of Arguing as much endanger Authority, as the Other?
A47928N. C. And have they, I beseech you, their Set Forms?
A47928N. C. And may there not be Conspiracies in Scandal, as well as in Schism?
A47928N. C. And what do you think of the Secluded Members?
A47928N. C. And why not Scandal, and Profaneness too?
A47928N. C. Are Heresies to be Extirpated, and Truth to be Propagated by the Sword, or by the Word?
A47928N. C. Are you for Punishing Inconformity with Death then?
A47928N. C. But I should rather think the Popular Form was First: For how could there be a King, without a People?
A47928N. C. But are not Some Opinions more tolerable then Others?
A47928N. C. But do you believe any Man so mad, as to take these Extravagances for Impulses of Conscience?
A47928N. C. But do you say, we are bound to Honour an Idolatrous Prince?
A47928N. C. But does not One Man see that sometimes, which a Thousand may miss?
A47928N. C. But is it not More, To Tolerate a Forreign R ● … ligion, then to Indulge your own?
A47928N. C. But may not a Prince tye himself up, in a thing otherwise Indifferent?
A47928N. C. But what Colour will there be for any further Exception?
A47928N. C. But what is That Power all this while, which you call NATURE?
A47928N. C. But what''s the World to Me, in the Scale against my Soul?
A47928N. C. But when the Death is certain, and the Virtue doubtful, Who shall decide the Point?
A47928N. C. But where''s the Danger of Receding from that Inexorable Strictness?
A47928N. C. But who shall be Iudge of what''s Indifferent?
A47928N. C. But why should the same Process of Means, and the same Application of Causes, be ascribed only to Instinct, in Brutes, and to Reason, in Man?
A47928N. C. But would you have that Probability govern by Unquestionable, and Authoritative Conclusions?
A47928N. C. Can there be any Sin without Assent; or any Assent without Knowledge; or any Knowledge in a Case of Invincible Ignorance?
A47928N. C. Did not the Presbyterians Uote His Majesties Concessions a Ground for a ● … reaty?
A47928N. C. Does not that Opinion destroy Christian Liberty?
A47928N. C. Have you so soon forgot your self?
A47928N. C. How do you know, but you may persecute God, in the Conscience of a True Believer, as St. Paul did, before his Conversion?
A47928N. C. How far are his Laws Binding upon his Subjects?
A47928N. C. If the Magistrate has any Power over the Consciences of his People, How came he by it?
A47928N. C. Is not the Word of God a sufficient Iudge?
A47928N. C. May not We charge Personal Extravagancies upon your Party, as well as You do upon Ours?
A47928N. C. May not the same thing be Indifferent to One, and not to Another?
A47928N. C. No Man can call Iesus the Christ, but by the Holy Ghost: Will you punish any Man for not having the Holy Ghost?
A47928N. C. Pray''e let me ask You One Question now: Who brought in this King?
A47928N. C. Tell me, I beseech you; Do not you believe that there are more N ● … n- Conformists now, then there were at the beginning of the Late War?
A47928N. C. The Non- Conformists are the King''s Subjects; and What''s a King without his People?
A47928N. C. WHy may not a Toleration do as well here, as in France?
A47928N. C. What End could they have in That?
A47928N. C. What are those Indisputable Rights, I beseech ye?
A47928N. C. What can be of greater Concernment to Governours; then to Discern, and Consider the State of their People, as it is indeed?
A47928N. C. What do ye think of Poland then?
A47928N. C. What greater Encouragement is there in the World, to Tyranny, then the Opinion of an Unaccomptable Sovereignty?
A47928N. C. What if a Single Person hit that Truth, which a General Council misses?
A47928N. C. What if it be?
A47928N. C. What is David''s Case to ours?
A47928N. C. What is all This to the Non- Conformists?
A47928N. C. What is the Duty of the Supreme Magistrate?
A47928N. C. What not in Case of Errour?
A47928N. C. Whence was the Original of Power?
A47928N. C. Who sold Him?
A47928Nay; Or that those of the Religion do Subdivide, or break Communion among Themselves?
A47928Needless?
A47928Next; as to the Degree, and Measure of your Importance; How Many Regiments of the One, and How many Millions of the Other, makes up that Importance?
A47928Or Why should a Standing Army do worse Here, then in Holland?
A47928Or if so, Why may not the Church be in the Right against the People, as well as any Particular of the People, against the Church, and the Rest?
A47928Or indeed, Why should not All be Tolerated, as well as Any?
A47928Or is it in the Wit of Man, to Contrive a Common Expedient to Oblige them?
A47928Or rather, Was there any thing of Conscience in the Case?
A47928Or that we owe them Less, AFTER Misgovernment, then we did Before?
A47928Or to leave their Countrey?
A47928Or will Liberty any better suit with the Presbyterians?
A47928Or will you call it Choice, if he leaves a Turfe for a Bone?
A47928Or will you have it, that our Duty to God ceases in the Act of becoming Subjects to a Civil Power?
A47928Or, That Liberty Consciencious, which the Governour esteems Unlawful?
A47928Presb, Was it not rather the Work of the Independents?
A47928Prohibit the Scots Trading with any of the King of Spains Dominions, under Pein of Excommunication?
A47928Reflect soberly upon what has been said; and Tell me, Do you think such a Toleration either fit for You to Ask, or for Authority to Grant?
A47928Ruine of Liberty, or Estate?
A47928Secondly; Whether was there first in the World, One Man, or More?
A47928Shall his Majesty give up his Government, for fear of some Millions( perchance) in his Dominions, that had rather be Kings, then Subjects?
A47928Shall the King therefore dissolve the Law, because there are so many Criminals?
A47928Shall the People be left to do what they list, because a World of them have a Mind to do what they should not?
A47928Shall the Vice, or Errour of the Person, degrade the Order?
A47928Shall they not have their Meetings, and Consultations, without Controul?
A47928Shall we Wrangle Eternally?
A47928Shall we be the Quieter for it?
A47928Shall we not have Nem, and Monstrous Opinions Propagated daily?
A47928Shall we stand to his Award whatever it be?
A47928Some Particulars will possibly suffer for want of a Toleration: and who are They; but the Profest Opposers of the Law?
A47928That is to say,( without more Circumstance) Which do you take for the more Tolerable Mischief of the Two?
A47928That is to say; Whether the Government shall Stand, or Fall?
A47928The Independents made sweet work in Holland, did they not?
A47928The Non- Conformists refuse Communion with the Church: What is it They boggle at?
A47928The Question in England is, Whether Christ, or Anti- Christ, shall be Lord, or King?
A47928The Question is; Whether He shall Over- rule your Opinions, or You Over- rule His Authority?
A47928The Unity of the Church, in this Multiplicity of Professions?
A47928The WHOLE PARTY in England, do you say?
A47928The whole Generation of the Non- Conformists United against his Person, and Government, as well in Iudgment, as in Faction?
A47928Their Declarations, and Subscriptions?
A47928Their Peremptory Impositions?
A47928They that are within the Comprehension, will be well enough: But what will become of them that are left out?
A47928This was the Year before the King''s Death, it seems: Whas not That within the Retrospect of the Act of Indemnity?
A47928To Know, Believe, or Profess are not in our Power: And shall a Man be punish''t for want of Grace, or Understanding?
A47928To permit Freedom of Worship to those you repute Hereticks, then to Relate a little towards your Orthodox Friends?
A47928Very good: And if the Kirk shall think fit to find them so or so; Pray''e What Remedy?
A47928Was That an Act of Authority?
A47928Was he not Spied, and Guarded, for fear of an Escape?
A47928Was it any better even under the Celebrated Government of Queen Elizabeth?
A47928Was it not made Death without Mercy, for any Man, having taken the Solemn League and Covenant, to adhere to his Majesty?
A47928Was it not the Test of the King''s Enemies, as well as of the Bishops?
A47928Was not King Iames, a Favourer of the Enemies of God''s Truth, and of Dissolute Persons?
A47928We have Laws Ecclesi ● … l, for the Ordering of the Church; and you refuse to Obey them ▪ For what Reason, I beseech you?
A47928Weigh now the Good against the Bad; What if it stands?
A47928Well; and what hurt''s in all this?
A47928Were not These, Presbyterians?
A47928Were not his Majesties Friends kept from him, by a strict Order, at Newcastle?
A47928Were not the Army, and Ass ● … mbly, Presbyterian; And all their Votes, Actions, and Conclusions Influenc''d accordingly?
A47928Were not the Principals of the Faction in the Long Parliament, every Man of them Presbyterian?
A47928Were not they the most likely of all others to disappoint our Settlement?
A47928Were the Anabaptists, Familists, and Brownists, that started up in Those Days, Presbyterians?
A47928What Course shall I take, to avoid Enterfering?
A47928What Exceptions have you to our COMMON PRAYER?
A47928What Swarms of Anabaptists, Brownists, Familists, Antinomians, Anti- Scripturists, Anti- Trinitarians, Enthusiasts( and what Not?)
A47928What are the Furies of the Anabaptists to us, that have Declared against them, as well as You?
A47928What are their Names?
A47928What can be more Ridiculous than to Authorize a Cobler to Correct Majesty, Mechanicks to Determine in Points of Faith?
A47928What can be the End of this Rhodomontade; but to startle the Government, on the One Side, and to animate the Multitude, on the Other?
A47928What do you find in the Independent Way, that may endanger his Majesty, either in his Person, or in his Prerogative?
A47928What does all this Evasion, and Obscurity signifie; but that there is somewhat in the bottom, more then you are willing to own?
A47928What follows upon it?
A47928What have you next to say against our Ceremonies?
A47928What have you to say now for a Toleration upon Reason of State?
A47928What if it yields?
A47928What if the Subject shall account That Imposition grievous, which the Magistrate thinks N ● … cessary?
A47928What is Conscience?
A47928What is This, but a meer Trifling of Government; to suppose a Law, without an Obligation?
A47928What is This, but to make Sport with Authority, and Conscience?
A47928What possibility is there of attaining such an Agreement, among so many Insuperable Diversities of Judgment, as reign in Mankind?
A47928What says the Artificer, the Tradesman, the Farmer?
A47928What sort of Ruine do you mean?
A47928What was it again that originally disposed this Monster to that cursed Act?
A47928What''s the Quarrel to them upon the matter now before us?
A47928What''s to be done in This Case?
A47928When Prentices robb''d their Masters, and took Sanctuary in the Service?
A47928When Publique Faith was a Tradesmans best Security; and the whole Nation held Life, and Estate, at the good Pleasure of a Close Committee?
A47928Where do ye find that Kings Reign, upon Condition of Ruling Righteously?
A47928Where is it, that you find This Exorbitant Power that you talk of?
A47928Where is the Bond of Peace, in this Exercise, and Latitude of Dissention?
A47928Where lies the Difference; I beseech you, between Their Impulse, and Our Choice?
A47928Where you shall not Speak, Look, Move, Eat, Drink, Dress your self; Nay, not so much as entertein a Thought, but at your Peril?
A47928Wherefore do ye lift your selves above the Congregation of the Lord?
A47928Wherefore then lift ye your selves above the Congregation of the Lord?
A47928Whether may be better Tolerated in This Kingdom, The Presbyterians, or the Independents; in Respect of their PRINCIPLES, and Ordinary PROCEEDINGS?
A47928Whether will you rather have; One Fallible Iudge, or a Million of Damnable Heresies?
A47928Which is the True Religion, among so many divided, and contradictory Pretenses to it?
A47928Which of the Two, do you account the more Tolerable; SCANDAL, or Schism?
A47928Which will you have him follow; Truth, or Authority?
A47928Who shall distinguish?
A47928Who shall over- rule?
A47928Who shall pretend to Iudge of my Conscience, beside God, and my Self?
A47928Why should We be put upon Extremities of Hard Labour, Course Fare, Rising early, and Going to Bed late?
A47928Why should We be the Drudges of the Kingdom?
A47928Why should a Commonwealth do worse Here, then in Holland?
A47928Why should a Toleration do worse Here, then in Holland?
A47928Why should not every Man be Govern''d by his own Conscience, as well in Consort, as in Solitude, as well in Company, as by Himself?
A47928Will Presbytery ever satisfie, the Independents Conscience?
A47928Will not every Man conclude, that the English are the Wretched''st Slaves upon the Face of the Earth?
A47928Will not the Tolerated Party become a Sanctuary for all the Turbulent Spirits in the Nation?
A47928Will you allow of no Ceremonies then at all,( you''l say) for the Instruction of the Vulgar?
A47928With what face then, can you ask a Toleration from That Government, which of all Others, your selves refused to Tolerate?
A47928Would you have his Majesty of Great- Britain, Tolerate Roman- Catholicks here, as his Most Christian Majesty does Protestants in France?
A47928Would you have me open my Door to a Troop of Thieves, because there are four or five Honest Men in the Company?
A47928Would you not take Time for an Answer?
A47928[ And what follow''d?]
A47928[ Esaminato con le solite Forme, confesso liberamente,& c.] What was it that Animated Ravillac to his Hellish Practise upon that Brave Prince?

A47928— What do you think now of UNCOMELY GESTURES?
A29544& c. will ye run after Preaching?
A29544( 3) It will be an evil sign, both Diagnostick and Prognostick; will it not argue you to be much deserted of God, and left to your selves?
A29544( 3) Neither is the Question so much, What has the Magistrate done in all this, as, What has the Ministers accepted, or submitted unto?
A29544( 6) What reason is there to say this Cantonizing of those places and Ministers, and confining of the Gospel, is their sin?
A295441. allow the like?

A295449.19 — 21?
A29544Again, Are ye not Brethren?
A29544Ah, how is almost every Bottle filled, not with Wine and strong drink, but a reeling Spirit mingled in, to make them stagger and fall?
A29544And consequently the accepting thereof, an homologating and supporting of both?
A29544And consequently, even that just power which did without controversie belong to the Crown before that unjust Superaddition?
A29544And did not Moses and all Israel accept this Liberty when it was granted?
A29544And does not your Ministers hold as little of the Magistrate as these did?
A29544And how can ye believe it without a Scripture- Warrant?
A29544And how is your Alledgance verified and made out?
A29544And if God be with them, Christ speaking in them, how will ye dare to spurn at them, and kick them off?
A29544And if others say, may not we defend that which we suppose to be a lawful liberty, against all attackers of it?
A29544And in a complex busisiness, why might not the good be taken hold of, and the evil abstracted from, waved, and laid by?
A29544And is dividing, biting, and devouring one another, fit providing for such a storm?
A29544And is it not a fault to accept of such a straitned liberty?
A29544And is it such a sin to take part of that Liberty, till God put it into the heart of the Magistrate to grant more?
A29544And is not this a like case with your Brethrens, as to the point in hand?
A29544And is not this an evil end?
A29544And is not your Brethrens case just the same?
A29544And is this your like piece of Liberty, though of a lesser size, not at all to be embraced?
A29544And may not the Magistrate dispense with his own Law, in whole or in part, and call this very properly an Indulgence?
A29544And may ye not be of one heart, till ye be of one way in things wherein ye differ?
A29544And of their Accession to it, if any be?
A29544And prescribe Rules and Directions to them, for the exercise of their Ministry, and confine them to the said Congregations?
A29544And shall any of you( as some do) take that trade off their hand, blasting( so far as they can) every bodies Reputation not of their way?
A29544And should they rob their own, to supply others?
A29544And state the Question according to their mistaken Notion, and not according to Truth?
A29544And that your reeling is like to undo all?
A29544And the Agents Design being altogether extrinsick to it?
A29544And the Ministers thereby Licensed, did they lawfully make use of that liberty, being withal most seriously called thereunto by the People?
A29544And till the Charge be proved, is it not a sufficient answer to deny it?
A29544And to accept that Indulgence, is it not to comply with that end?
A29544And to build what he formerly did destroy?
A29544And to open the door to Ministers which himself did shut?
A29544And to prostitute their Ministry to gratifie the humors of men, even to sacrifice it to their discontents?
A29544And to say no more, where ever this bitter root of rigid Separation does spring up, does it not defile many?
A29544And utterly incapacitate your selves for Duty or Outgeate?
A29544And were not this to set them up as Prelates and Dictators to their Brethren?
A29544And were ye not but met with your own Ell- wand?
A29544And what a scandal is it to see the Sons of Peace, as it were, intoxicated with the waters of Massah and Meribah?
A29544And what have ye gained when this is done?
A29544And what is this else but the very foam of envy, like the Patriarchs envying Joseph for their Fathers kindness unto him beyond them?
A29544And what one says, be taken as an Oracle, and what another says, cryed down according to Interest and Affection?
A29544And what peace will it yield you when accomplished?
A29544And what sorer scourge can there be, than to be left of him to bite and devour one another?
A29544And what, Shall there be, should there be no peace, until all be of the same outward Lot and Condition?
A29544And whatever the Magistrate did overstretch in, what is it to the Ministers if they did not close with these excesses, as they did not?
A29544And who are most to be blamed?
A29544And who but Papists will say, but Ministers bodies and persons are under the Magistrates Jurisdiction as other mens?
A29544And who can look upon this qualified and scriptural fixing, as a fault?
A29544And who knows what a conviction this may produce in end?
A29544And who knows what mollifying influence upon the heart of Rulers, your meekness in suffering might have?
A29544And who of all the indulged did ever submit further unto it?
A29544And who shall direct them where to go unto?
A29544And why do not these Objectors go and labour in a more permanent way, in these needy places, and not be so oft where there is so little need?
A29544And why do ye not convince your Brethren of it?
A29544And will no such hazard induce you to let alone your intestine embroilments?
A29544And will not your foes carefully improve such advantages against you?
A29544And will that satisfie their Conscience, when it is said to them, as to Elijah, What dost thou here?
A29544And will ye cast at the kind, because of defect in the measure?
A29544And will ye cry out of others for breach of Covenant, and yet violate the same so grosly your selves?
A29544And will ye yet contend in the very face of the Enemy, and Jaws of devouring- like danger?
A29544And would ye not yet( as is informed) accept of a general Indulgence?
A29544Are their( alledged) failings meerly Personal?
A29544Are these his Doings?
A29544Are they not like a wild Bull in a Net, full of the fury of the Lord, and of the rebuke of their God?
A29544Are ye Preachers of Christ?
A29544Are ye not become the scorn of the Adversary, the shame and sorrow of your friends?
A29544Are ye not under their eye, who rejoice at the sport, clap hands and cry, Hui to the fray?
A29544Are ye not united in Doctrine, Worship, Principles of Discipline and Government?
A29544Are ye only skilful to destroy?
A29544Are ye worse that it''s well, or any whit better with others?
A29544Are your Brethren willing to let you enjoy your judgments, and serve your light in your own practice?
A29544Being in it self lawful, does its Neighbourhood( in eodem subjecto) with what is counted unlawful, defile it?
A29544Blame no ● one another, but rather each suspect himself, saying, Is it I?
A29544But must ye over- stretch and go beyond your line and measure?
A29544But should the innocent Object bear the blame of your Corruptions rising?
A29544But to be more particular: What suppose ye the Evil Design to be?
A29544But to come nearer the purpose: What is it displeaseth you at your Brethrens deed?
A29544But was this ever counted a Relevant Objection against their Ministry, or for separating from them against the lawfulness of hearing them?
A29544But what in all or any of these acts might be and is lawfully done?
A29544But what?
A29544But where hath he said that Ministers are to be tutored and led by the people?
A29544But who will say, that because in Providence others bonds are not taken off, therefore they should have casten at the mercy of their liberty?
A29544But will not wo be to them who widen breaches by evil whispers, and cunning surmises?
A29544But, Dear Friends, Did ye find the first Indulgence bar the door upon, and not rather make way for, the second?
A29544By this ground was not Esdra in a mistake, when he blessed God for a Nail in the Holy Place?
A29544By what Almanack do ye Divine this?
A29544Can a man have two charges at once?
A29544Can any Relevant Exception be assigned against this?
A29544Can there be no accommodating your differences?
A29544Can there be no difference among you without division?
A29544Can there be no peace with you, unless ye have leave to trail them at your heels?
A29544Can they be excellent Architects, who build the Lords house by firing it, or pulling it in pieces?
A29544Consider, What these Acts are?
A29544Could ye gratifie them, and disadvantage your selves more than by such reelings?
A29544Count ye what is granted to your Brethren, detracted from you?
A29544Dear Friends, How prove ye this charge?
A29544Did Grace, not humour predominate, and the fear of God awe you, durst some take the latitude they do?
A29544Did Joseph quarrel or discharge the Butler to accept of his liberty, unless all his fellow- prisoners were partakers of the like?
A29544Did ever Religion indeed thrive by such dividings and strivings of Ministers or People?
A29544Did he not in the Usurpers time find you the most faithful party to him of any?
A29544Did not John the Apostle submit to his Confinement unto Patmos?
A29544Did not many of them say, it was the high way to break, undermine, and wear out their Government?
A29544Did not worthy Luther once spoil his cause much by over- acting, and excess of fervour?
A29544Did not your worthy Mr. R. Bruce submit to his Confinement unto Innerness?
A29544Did they at all, in foro, Institute a trial and cognition of these or any other their Qualifications?
A29544Dividers are certainly Subverters; and will ye burn down the Sanctuary into Ashes, while ye pretend to defend and uphold it?
A29544Do not all know it was granted over their Bellies, and sore against their Mind?
A29544Do ye like it, to put them to cry to God against you, and( like Job) to complain of their friends mockage, injustice, and cruel usage?
A29544Do ye not read how defective many of the Angels in the Churches of Asia were, in fidelity against sins of the time?
A29544Do ye not then put your selves out from under his leading and feeding hand?
A29544Do ye think there can be no sinful excess of heat, violence and disorder, in prosecuting a good cause?
A29544Do ye well to be angry?
A29544Does any of you think it their glory to blow the Bellows, and to be ambitious who shall act highest in opposition one to another?
A29544Does it offend you that the Magistrate intermedleth with Church- affairs?
A29544Does not all that know the mystery of that matter, know that it was upon another occasion, and for another end?
A29544Does not their non- acceptance, and non- observance, of these Rules, free them of all crime supposed to be therein?
A29544Does the Accession or Conjunction of an Incompetent power, nullifie or corrupt the whole Systeme of the Regal Authority?
A29544Does your Brethren persecute you as they do?
A29544Doth magis& minus variare speciem?
A29544Doth the Permitters Latent Intention defile the mercy, that it might not be touched?
A29544From all this is it not plain, that their manner of entry is not so culpable as it is by some represented to be?
A29544Further, Did not your selves generally allow of the first Indulgence?
A29544Had it been an enemy,& c. How bitter is this?
A29544Had it been unlawful to Zerubabel, to have accepted a considerable part of the Vessels of the Temple, if the other part had been kept back?
A29544Had it not been as well your wisdom as duty, to have defeated their Design by your constant Unity,( though ye could not be of Unanimity?)
A29544Hath it not been his uncontroverted practice, past memory of man, as to other poenal Laws?
A29544Have ye forgotten the former Persecution, that ye are so soon fallen by the ears among your selves?
A29544Have you any warrant to leave them before Christ leave them?
A29544Have you not oft been made to say, the Indulged Ministers Preached best to souls cases, though ye said the Field- Preachers spoke best to the Times?
A29544Here is strange Policy, instead of sound Divinity: What trouble cometh on any for refusing or not getting a share in the Liberty?
A29544How Irrational were this?
A29544How come ye then now to controvert it?
A29544How could a thing, in it self so innocent, have any just and native tendency to such an end?
A29544How does it appear that this was the scope of granting the Indulgence?
A29544How instruct ye this to have been the drift and end of that Act?
A29544How many can attest these undeniable Verities?
A29544How many of the outed Ministers lye by in corners, less extensive in their usefulness to the Church, than the Indulged?
A29544How much sooner might ye get a good account of matters, if ye did put them more in Gods hand, who has the Balm of Gilead for such sores?
A29544How oft has some of you spoken of a blessedness in their Ministry, before ye were put upon your dividing notions, and took up prejudices at them?
A29544How then can ye say, that to this Act of Supremacy the Indulgence oweth its whole legal being?
A29544How will such a Paradox- Point be made out?
A29544If any say, May and ought we not to testifie against the corruption which we suppose to be in the Indulgence?
A29544If ever ye heard them ordinarily, can ye deny but ye have seen it evident, that God was in them, and with them?
A29544If it be said, Then what shall be done to supply the needy parts of the Land?
A29544If not,( as no sober, rational, man, will think ye should) why judge ye otherwise of this partial Liberty?
A29544If the thing was just and right in it self, you and your Brethren were not to ask quo jure, the King took it on him?
A29544If these Ministers should causelesly, or for trivial or tolerable faults, Excommunicate you, would ye not judg it their sin?
A29544If trouble befal them upon other accounts, what is that to the Indulgence?
A29544If ye say, by his Majesties Letter they were appointed to License only Sober and Peaceable men; and is not this to judg of their Qualifications?
A29544If ye state your selves into parties, as the Corinthians did, how will ye avoid being puffed up for one against another?
A29544In all this Detension, are not your Ministers merely passive?
A29544Is Shimei''s vice now become a a virtue?
A29544Is aut Caesar, aut nihil, your Principle?
A29544Is confident asserting, enough to ground such an heavy Accusation?
A29544Is difference of judgment in every lesser thing, inconsistent with unity and peace, concord and communion in things wherein ye are aggrieved?
A29544Is it I?
A29544Is it not just so in your Brethrens case?
A29544Is it not servile man- pleasing, and cowardize to do so?
A29544Is it the Name of Indulgence?
A29544Is not Confinement( upon their part) a sad piece of suffering?
A29544Is not Division always distempering, and the very Moth and Canker- worm of the life of Piety?
A29544Is not God to be eyed and stooped unto in this, and to be waited on by faith and patience till it be otherwise?
A29544Is not Popery, that devouring Leviathan, at your gates, ready to be ushered in by it?
A29544Is not Schism one of your abjured ills, and contrary to the Word of God, as well as Prelacy?
A29544Is not as well he that condemneth the just, as he that justifieth the wicked, an abomination to the Lord?
A29544Is not their Deed then, in accepting such an ill circumstantiated Liberty, most disallowable?
A29544Is not this difference of dealing to be stooped unto and adored, and not to be quarrelled?
A29544Is not this that which their very souls longed for?
A29544Is the Ministers defect the Hearers sin?
A29544Is the exercise of their Function the worse, that the liberty thereof is not taken at their own hand?
A29544Is there any persecution or grief like to this?
A29544Is there no accursed thing among you, which makes you fall before the Adversary?
A29544Is there no golden mediocrity betwixt fiery zeal and Laodicean luke- warmness?
A29544Is this acceptable service to the Prince of Pastors?
A29544Is this the Spirit of the Lord?
A29544Is this the mean to make Christs Kingdom and Crown flourish, by setting his faithful Friends and Subjects at variance?
A29544Is your Breach wide as the Sea?
A29544Is your liberty taken so Divine?
A29544Look what advantage ye think their going abroad would do to other places; would it not damnifie their own people as much?
A29544Look, whatever Religion seemeth to gain in a parcel, doth it not lose much more in the Bulk, in a factious time?
A29544May every man abound in his own Sense, and fasten that upon it which his roving Fancy leads him to dream to have been the purpose of it?
A29544May it not suffice you to do that in your station which serveth to exonerate your Consciences, and deliver your soul from the guilt of accession?
A29544May not people object the same against one another, to whom Providence carves out various Lots?
A29544May ye not say the same of all Laws?
A29544Moreover, Is not Schism a breach of your Covenant, as well as Prelacy?
A29544Moreover, does it not( as it were) divide Christ and his Heritage into pieces?
A29544Moreover, we ask, were the Heathen Kings, forementioned, Prophets?
A29544Moreover, were this Principle admitted, how desperate would it render the case betwixt your Church and the Magistrate?
A29544Moreover, what a black Omen will it be of Gods forsaking the Land, and being about to give a Bill of Divorce to your Church?
A29544Moreover, what do ye by filling peoples heads with such intangling controversies, but divert their minds, and take them off the main thing?
A29544Mr. Rutherford to his at Aberden?
A29544Must duty be deserted because any stumble on it?
A29544Must ye cast out and contend, when ye can not all be of the same mind, in such inferiour things, albeit ye agree in the Main?
A29544Must ye have all, or will ye take nothing?
A29544Must your Brethren tarry and take part with you, merely for company- sake, and let the Lords work, to which they have a call and free access, stand?
A29544None to stand in the Gap?
A29544Not a plant of Gods planting?
A29544Now say ye, How could the Magistrate lawfully make, or Ministers accept, such an Indulgence, namely, so clogged?
A29544Now what are the Ministers concerned farther, than as to what they have accepted, or yielded submission unto?
A29544Now who can warrantably say, this indulged liberty is of that nature?
A29544Now who will not think such a Posterior oneration altogether extrinsick to the disposition, and no ways to affect the Estate or Successor?
A29544Now, Dear Friends, all these things considered, how little ground seems there to be for making so great a stir, as ye do?
A29544Now, how unchristian is it to depart from their Ministry, with which Christ continues yet his presence?
A29544Now, may not these eminent Divine Assistances, Successes, and Proofs of acceptance, abundantly compense all your tears, sufferings, and sorrows?
A29544Now, upon all this, what just ground of out- cry is there against your honest Brethren?
A29544Now, what doth it import to the Ministers, whether the Peoples call did precede or follow the Prince his Civil License?
A29544Now, what is exceptable against this?
A29544Now, what is the call or mission they have to that work?
A29544Of a truth God is in them?
A29544On this score who are put to suffering?
A29544Or did any blame him for seeking and accepting it?
A29544Or is it a sin in the Wife, Son, or Servant, to submit unto, or make use of, the exercise of the one, while he doth not disclaim the other?
A29544Or is the pure and free Preaching of the Gospel by them, any harm to the Church?
A29544Or like distracted Mariners falling by the ears together, while the swelling Sea and raging Storm is like to sink the Ship and you both?
A29544Or might, and should one Nation refuse the liberty of the Gospel, because all other Nations has not the like?
A29544Or what reason hath any to object, if the people was satisfied with the Minister Licensed, and did cordially call him?
A29544Or, Is this the way for the Gospel''s prospering?
A29544Or, These good Chirurgeons who know no other method or means to heal, but by Dislocation, Amputation, or other the like dogged Cures?
A29544Or, are their faults some lesser failing in the discharge of their Ministry?
A29544Or, are their( alledged) faults in the way of their coming to the publick, free exercise of their Ministry?
A29544Or, what is it to any that takes the favour, and makes good use of it, and concurreth not with the alledged ill Design?
A29544Or, when and where he shall have Audience,& c?
A29544Or, would doing the same, conclude you under the guilt of compliance with the Narrative and grounds whereupon the Ruler permits it?
A29544Or, would the Indulged, their refusal of their Liberty, lenified the Magistrates offence, and protected all the rest from suffering?
A29544Others also to theirs, in Kintyre, Boot, Arran,& c?
A29544Ought not Justice to preponderate to works of Charity?
A29544Remember, that it is the Magistrates fault, not your Brethrens, that ye are not all equal sharers: Why then do ye let forth your Crab at the Innocent?
A29544Shall any think nothing pleaseth now, but what is cross the grain of Authority?
A29544Shall it be a right door for the one to enter in at, which is reckoned wrong in the other?
A29544Shall it be counted vice in the one, which is counted virtue in the other?
A29544Shall it be that Dum aguntur partes, perit Saguntum?
A29544Shall not God visit for these things?
A29544Shall they have no such Adversaries as you whom they love and desire to be at peace with?
A29544Shall ye be sharper scourges in their sides, and thorns in their eyes, than any others?
A29544Should there be no peace among you, unless all be in the same case, and have the same Lot?
A29544Si in Necessariis servaremus unitatem; in Adiaphoris, Libertatem; in utrisque charitatem; quàm multò meliùs se haberent res Ecclesiae?
A29544The Magistrate his interposing his Authority in this case, what place holds it then, say ye?
A29544The Prelates indeed count it no small evil, and are you and they in so far agreed?
A29544The Prelatick violence is indeed sad enough; but what in comparison of the Papistick, which is at your door?
A29544The Priests Lip ● shall preserve knowledg, and men should seek the Law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts?
A29544They who bear them lightly, or rejoice in them, what a deserted and distempered frame must they be in?
A29544Thinking that as Dagon could not stand before the Ark, neither Prelacy beside any little of Presbytery, without losing ground daily?
A29544This is the true state of the Controversie betwixt you and your Brethren; what is your quarrel at it?
A29544V. Consider in sober sadness, what cause is there for all your outcry?
A29544Was not Hannibal ad Portas, a strange alarm to the Romans to lay by their private jars, and unite against their common danger?
A29544We answer, doth the spotless and holy Lords making his Sun to shine, and rain to fall as well upon the unjust as the just, tend to harden them?
A29544We demand, What is this great necessity, so much decantated and objected against the Indulged''s Fixing?
A29544Were Christs Cloaths taken from him, what forbids, but ye might lawfully receive back his Coat to put upon him, until ye get his Cloak also?
A29544Were it Rampant Romanists, or Inimical Prelatists, or foul mouth''d Sectaries, who thus battered at honest Ministers, it were more tolerable?
A29544Were it not better make one real Christian, then proselyte twenty to your side and party?
A29544Were not such Litigations a bogling at Shadows?
A29544Were this true, why then has the Prelates and their Friends such an antipathy against it?
A29544What Erastianism then, or Ecclesiastical Supremacy was here?
A29544What Reason can there be to debar such an one from interposing to redress what himself hath overturned, more than his Successor?
A29544What Scripture or Reason pleads against this, or proveth the Accepters Sin?
A29544What a Paradox were it to assert that?
A29544What a Token for good would this be?
A29544What a door might that open to Confusion?
A29544What a pitiful taking would ye and they be in by such Contradictions and Invectives?
A29544What a strange Principle were this?
A29544What a trick has some of stigmatizing things with odious and terrifying names, thereby to boggle simple and well- meaning people?
A29544What accession then hath Brethrens acceptance, to the trouble of the Refusers?
A29544What advantage is it to the Gospel, to break so many faithful mens Ministry?
A29544What are these?
A29544What are your racked Inferences, forced Imputations, and strained misconstructions, but fancies of your own brains?
A29544What fatal judgments doth it portend?
A29544What ground in Scripture is there for this?
A29544What ground then is there, of stumbling at them, upon this Head?
A29544What has these indulged men done, that ye rate them, and persecute them more largely and briskly than ye do any of the other?
A29544What higher provocations are there, than those of Sons and Daughters?
A29544What hinders but it may be wanted without any detriment to the relation?
A29544What if they be innocent of that you charge upon them?
A29544What if you be in a mistake as those were?
A29544What if you require more than is really expedient?
A29544What is Satans great Engine, and consequently his design for marring your good of Ministers; but by stating prejudices in your minds at them?
A29544What is it but the corruptions, not the Graces of good men, which maketh them jar?
A29544What is that Project ye suspect?
A29544What is the quarrel?
A29544What is 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, but 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A29544What more could have been done in such an extraordinary case?
A29544What necessity is there of this?
A29544What needed these Ministers any new Election or Call, who were, by the Indulgence, returned to their own former Charges?
A29544What probability or ground of Assurance can ye produce for such an expectation?
A29544What profit reap they by being inveigled into such quick- sands?
A29544What service were that to Christ, or his Kingdom?
A29544What thanks will ye get for joining issues with them?
A29544What then did they in this matter, without their sphere?
A29544What then?
A29544What unfair dealing is this?
A29544What will probably become of such a distracted divided company; crumbled into so many Atoms and Fractions?
A29544What will such distractions resolve into at last, if the Healer of the Nations prevent it not?
A29544What will this sickness terminate into?
A29544What would the Protestants in Hungary and Spain esteem of the like favour?
A29544What would ye give the Adversaries leave to do but to make you odious with slanders, that your Cause may stink, and your name rot above the ground?
A29544What''s your difference then but about the application of Principles to some Hyp ● theses or particular cases and practices?
A29544What, are ther ● not enow of hands besides to overtake that work, were they all put to it, and regularly disposed of?
A29544What, are there no healing Medicines, nor healing men among you?
A29544What?
A29544Whether is it better to Preach with the Magistrates good leave, or without it?
A29544While we know only in part, will there not be perpetually different measures of light?
A29544Who can meddle with such a flame as is kindled amongst you, and not burn his face or fingers, even when he casteth water to quench it?
A29544Who can say, their Levites were Jehoshaphats Curates, and not the Lords Ministers, for undergoing the like appointment of his power?
A29544Who made these Rulers over their Brethren?
A29544Who may say to him what dost thou?
A29544Who will charge such a Magistrate as guilty of accepting the Office cum onere, with the burden of the legally annexed Declaration?
A29544Why are ye so subservient thereunto by your contradiction and contention about the Indulgence?
A29544Why do you not go to your charges again, but persist in submission to your Ejection?
A29544Why grudge ye?
A29544Why have ye not ere now seriously Remonstrated this dreadful guilt to themselves, and not whispered it in corners unto others?
A29544Why should your eye be evil where the Lords Hand is good?
A29544Why then are the Indulged mens entry quarrelled as sinful, and their Ministry as defiled, who yet wanted not the peoples full call?
A29544Why then will ye Strain, Force, and Father it upon that his Transcendent Supremacy, when himself does not so?
A29544Why, what crime is this?
A29544Will it not be but a poor vassalage to preach down you ● Brethren, while ye should preach up Christ?
A29544Will neither by- past experience( the School- master of very fools) nor present fears and peril warn you?
A29544Will not this be Marah, bitterness in the end?
A29544Will ye be like Archimedes, who while he was busie at his Mathematical Lines, the Enemy entered the Town, and killed him at his Skeams?
A29544Will ye be like the foolish Knights of Cadmus, who never ceased Fighting among themselves, while there were any to maintain the quarrel?
A29544Will ye be stricter and holier than he?
A29544Will ye cast off whom the Lord casts not off?
A29544Will ye either have all or nothing, and despise a day of small things?
A29544Will ye not be pleased if suffering befal you, unless all drink of that same Cup; albeit in Providence they be not called unto it?
A29544Will ye not cease your Animosities, till the Popish Sword end the quarrel?
A29544Will ye not hear a Conformist?
A29544Will ye say they should go proprio motu, of their own heads?
A29544Will ye still dash upon that Rock on which the Church of Christ hath so oft split, and God hath set up so many Beacons of his Displeasure?
A29544With whom is this Urim and Thummim ● ore than with his holy ones?
A29544Would you think it valid reasoning?
A29544Ye complain of your Brethrens want of success, as Peninnah upbraided Hannah with her barrenness; but do not ye much mar their fruitfulness?
A29544Yea, Is he not the more concerned to do the Cure?
A29544Yea, and count it an unpardonable crime to accept of a Day of small things, till God incline the hearts of Rulers to condescend to further?
A29544Yea, though they did put forth both their Actings beside other, in different points, in one and the same Complex Law?
A29544Yet did they not settle Pastors in every Church and every City, as they could have access?
A29544Yet if any of you be found weak, raw, unstudied Divines, will it not reflect upon all, and blemish the party?
A29544abjured with that same breath wherewith ye renounce it and Popery?
A29544afflicts his Church and Servants?
A29544and Mr. D. Dickson, to his at Toraff?
A29544and a solemn Introduction of him into his work?
A29544and all alike condemned as guilty?
A29544and all be Anathematized that differ in the least from you?
A29544and answer the questioning of your being sent of God, being proofs of Christ speaking in you?
A29544and be in hazard to turn aside by the flocks of the Companions?
A29544and bold to treat the friends of Christ like foes?
A29544and can ye be innocent, when as groundlesly, or for frivolous reasons ye cast them off, and in a sort depose them?
A29544and demolish them into a ruinous heap?
A29544and diversity of Apprehensions in many things?
A29544and leads many to sinful compliance with dividing courses?
A29544and may not the world wonder at it?
A29544and not render it unlawful for you to hear them Preach the Gospel to good purpose?
A29544and persecute them as Apostates, before ever ye wair an admonition on them?
A29544and refuse a lawful Liberty of a necessary duty, only because others are not pleased, or not partakers?
A29544and shall they be counted sinners for suffering?
A29544and so threap upon the subjects, that they are terms, though no consent be explicitely sought?
A29544and that his separating between the Office and the Declaration, is morally impossible, and but a cheat?
A29544and that it is no Erastianism at all to dispose of them?
A29544and that your quarrel at the Indulgence is, that it is granted, not taken?
A29544and the Canaanite and the Perizite in the Land?
A29544and the extraordinariness of the case, did it not sufficiently dispense with, and excuse the want of that usual point of Order?
A29544and their Liberty, your Misery?
A29544and theirs granted, an illegitimate or Bastard- brood, as in your papers ye call it?
A29544and these born in upon people as Divine Oracles, and certain Truths?
A29544and to live in peace with you, notwithstanding the difference?
A29544and to propagate your private opinions more than the power of Piety?
A29544and turn Religion into factions and debates?
A29544and wear them out of heart- tenderness, real exercise of Conscience, and the serious study of universal Holiness?
A29544and where are the Fruits of your Repentance?
A29544and why should it be denied him in this kind more than in others?
A29544and will he no more regard them?)
A29544and will not ye be content, unless ye impose your apprehensions upon them, and have them conform unto, and lackey after your opinion and practice?
A29544and will ye rent at such a rate about the Application of one principle to a particular case?
A29544and with whom they agree in all things( almost) else?
A29544and would savour of Levity or Captiousness?
A29544and yet friendly enough toward Schism, Error, and some other things repugnant to the Word of God, and your Covenants, as well as these?
A29544and yet make little conscience to practise what ye hear?
A29544and yet make no conscience of lying, slandering your Neighbour?
A29544and yet what greater engine is used by some to breed and feed your Differences, than this artifice?
A29544are not sufferers to be held innocent?
A29544are not ye and they agreed in chiefest Principles and These s?
A29544because their Brethren of the Ten Tribes were not also permitted to return to their land, and concur in the Building?
A29544being no other but a commutation or exchange of a lesser good for a greater?
A29544counted it an hopeful beginning of good to your poor afflicted Church?
A29544do they not rather plead for you, excuse your extravagancies; protect and shelter and feed you, so far as they can?
A29544does his purpose, or private separate deed, infer any obligation upon his Assignee?
A29544does not this unequal dealing say, nothing of this sort pleases you but what is taken at your own hand?
A29544for, albeit it be the Magistrates fault to shut them up thus into corners, yet who can justly lay it to Ministers charge being sufferers therein?
A29544formality, wantonness, waywardness,& c. and can that be but a plaguy fruit that groweth off so bitter a root?
A29544have ye not the seal of your Ministry( a witness of Gods approbation) upon the hearts of many?
A29544how incongruous and unkindly is that?
A29544how much less with sick and feverish Brethren?
A29544in so far as may be consistent with necessary Duties to the Church and Gospel, and in as far as they are not called by any duty to break it?
A29544is it not as well a fatal- like as an unkindly thing, to see the sheep kicking at, pushing away, or running from their Shepherds?
A29544is not a current, uncontroverted custom, equivalent to a Law?
A29544may not theirs be just and lawful, though not according to Law, as well as yours?
A29544may set up one Star to shine, and let another better lye by?
A29544may still the old question be put unto you, Does your piety aed zeal lye all in Negatives?
A29544might not the suffering part of the people grudg and quarrel in like manner, that all their Neighbours are not in Prison with them?
A29544much more of a complete Restauration of the Church to her former Integrity?
A29544must the failing of some few be cast upon all?
A29544must your judgment be the Standard and Canon to every bodies else?
A29544neither Emperour nor Senate,& c. as is there marked?
A29544no diversity of apprehensions of things without running into Parties and contests about them?
A29544not the real guilt of your Brethren?
A29544or allow you to over- do or divide?
A29544or allows an encroachment upon the Church and peoples Right?
A29544or contrary?
A29544or doth now so affect it, or the Exercise of their Ministry by it, as that they are wholly polluted thereby?
A29544or for how long?
A29544or infer them to be such as may not say to people, Over you hath the Holy Ghost made us overseers, but the King?
A29544or private significations of his mind, import any thing in Law without Legal and timous Intimation?
A29544or rather irritated him more, and drawn on suffering on themselves with others?
A29544or should difference of lots divide your hearts and affections?
A29544or state them guilty of Homologating an Erastian power, and establishing a spiritual supremacy in the Magistrate?
A29544or to draw Disciples after you more than after Christ?
A29544or to illegitimate their indulged Liberty, or their Ministry, so as it were unlawful to hear them?
A29544or what edification unto people?
A29544or what is it to the rest of the Brethren, who were never called before the Council, nor the Letter and its Contents read to them?
A29544or, that it was their sin to take hold of it and improve it?
A29544or, that one or more gets out of Prison, while others are detained?
A29544or, that ye sinned if ye did Conventicle, meerly because of the Injunction of those Rules, albeit ye observed them not?
A29544or, then people does, when they elect a Minister to themselves?
A29544or, what Scripture requireth you to separate from one of that deficiency?
A29544or, whether they be properly Ecclesiastical Canons( of the same formal and specifical Nature with Church- Decrees, about matters of Order)?
A29544shall all your edg and sting be turned against them, no less upright than your selves?
A29544shall your infirmity warrant you to censure others perfection?
A29544so no less than Jehu''s furious march sufficient to exonerate you?
A29544specially in leading unto error, if not profanity?
A29544such as not being so free and full in Preaching and witnessing against the sins of the time,& c. do not these also sist upon themselves?
A29544tell it not in Gath,& c. How much also of the indignation of the Lord doth Schismatizing import?
A29544that is, while no duty occurs which can not be gone about without transgressing it?
A29544the Prelatick parties enmity upon the one hand, and the fierceness of these male- contented friends upon the other,( and who may stand before envy?
A29544the naked permitted liberty, to infer and cast upon them an Homologation of the whole contents of these acts?
A29544to see men so careful to run from one evil, and so little tender to hold off another?
A29544to sigh over you, and groan under you, and complain to God for your ticklishness, frowardness, and stiff- neckedness?
A29544we have seen many unfleeced of their wool, yea torn in their flesh, by being involved in such thorns, but never any advantaged?
A29544were they in this case not at all Christs Court, nor acting in his name as his Ambassadors, and not the Kings?
A29544what Act of Judicial cognition, or definitive Determination concerning your Brethrens gifts, did the Magistrate put forth?
A29544what fault is it to observe it, while it doth not compet with any duty?
A29544what if your unclearness be your infirmity?
A29544what more doth your hearing tend( natively) to harden and encourage those Ministers?
A29544what partial and unjust dealing is this?
A29544wherein have they homologate Erastianism, or a Spiritual Supremacy?
A29544whilst the Prelatick party have overturned the whole Fabrick of her Government, and bears down all that joyn not issues with them therein?
A29544who that looks with an impartial eye, may not see several things to be lamented in you?
A29544why then single ye them out, and make them the Butt of this Objection?
A29544why, what are these bad effects the acceptance of their liberty doth natively produce?
A29544will ye agree with none that are not of your mind in every thing?
A29544will ye not then be scorched, wax lean and wither?
A29544yea, and tendeth to destroy Religion and his Kingdom?
A29544yea, suppose ye seem to have Scripture to plead, what if you be mistaken of the sense or application, or wrest the same?
A29544yet who finds any discord among them upon this account?
A29544your wound incurable?
A29544— What shall we do for our little Sister with her cancered Breasts?
A29544—( 4) It is not the Question either, Whether or not it be lawful for Ministers to have closed with the whole complex of both these Acts?
A4890026. you tell me the Question between us, is, Whether the Magistrate hath any Right to use Force to bring Men to the true Religion?
A4890030 26 them?
A48900A happy Discovery: What''s the Use of it?
A48900A manifest Demonstration, ● … s it not?
A48900Against whom?
A48900And I ask you, Who ever said any such thing did follow from thence?
A48900And I upon the same Ground reply; If lesser Degrees of Force will not prevail, what other means is there left but greater?
A48900And as to Rites and Ceremonies, are there any necessary to Salvation, which Christ has not instituted?
A48900And can he be encouraged to this, by hearing what others may gain by what( without Repentance) must cost him so dear?
A48900And can you think less degrees of Force can work, and often, as you say, prevail where greater could not?
A48900And do not you own that those who have that Power, ought to punish those who offend in rejecting the true Religion?
A48900And here again I ask, Have all Men to whom this Cure is of absolute Necessity, been furnished with this necessary means?
A48900And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
A48900And how shall they hear without a Preacher?
A48900And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
A48900And if their own Words may not be taken; who, I pray must be Judg?
A48900And if there be such a Right somewhere, where should it be, but where the Power of compelling resides?
A48900And if this be not profaning them, pray tell me what is?
A48900And is it not as true, that if they will, in their several Capacities, do what they may and ought, true Religion will also subsist without Force?
A48900And is this for their good?
A48900And may not Force thus be serviceable to bring Men to receive and imbrace Falshood?
A48900And must all other Magistrates sit still, and not do their Duty till they have your Permission?
A48900And that all the Papists in th ● … World go to Mass without believing it their Duty?
A48900And to you asking again, who were of desperately perverse and obstinate Constitutions?
A48900And what at last is their Commission?
A48900And what can be done better to answer it, than to the Words I have above cited, to subjoin these following?
A48900And when have they done this?
A48900And when is the Magistrate, that has the care of Mens Souls, and does all this for their Salvation, satisfied that they have so considered?
A48900And when, in your Opinion, is it presumable that any Man has done all this?
A48900And where there has been the Relaxation of such moderate Penal Laws, the fruits whereof have continually b ● … en Epicurism and Atheism?
A48900And wherein does that Str ● … ngth?
A48900And who I beseech you must be Judg of that?
A48900And who then is Judg of what is the Truth to be imbraced, but the Magistrate?
A48900And who were incurable?
A48900And why may not the Care of every Man''s Soul be left to himself?
A48900And why was Force 〈 ◊ 〉?
A48900Any Advice in it that you your s ● … lf would disown?
A48900Are Men to be punished for refusing to imbrace the Doctrine, and submit to the Government of the proper Ministers of the Church of Geneva?
A48900Are not greater to be used?
A48900Are not these Expressions to set forth a deplorable Condition, and to move Pity in all that hear them?
A48900Are there not those who are Members of your Commonwealth, who do not imbrace the Truth that must save them, any more than they?
A48900Are you in earnest?
A48900Are you sincere?
A48900Aversion to the true Religion you say is of absolute Necessity to be ● … ured: What I beseech you is that true Religion?
A48900Ay, but where do you say that Persecution is for the Salvation of Souls?
A48900Besides, said he, who must be Judg whether the Magistrate knows or no?
A48900Besides, when they are thus punished by their Magistrate for not conforming, what need they examine?
A48900But I beseech you what Care is this of the Honour of God, and Mens Salvation, you speak of?
A48900But all this you tell me, is just nothing to my purpose: Why I beseech you?
A48900But could there be a more wild and incoherent Consequence drawn from it, than this; Therefore Dissenters must be punished?
A48900But do I contradict any thing of this, when I say, that the Care of every Man''s Soul ought not to be left to himself alone?
A48900But does all this tell us who are the desperately perverse and obstinate?
A48900But how come you to know, that Force is necessary?
A48900But how shall the Magistrate know when they upon Conviction imbrace, that he may then take off their Penalties?
A48900But how will you prove that God has given the Magistrates of the Earth a Power to punish all Faults against himself?
A48900But how, I beseech you, will this stand with your 13th Article?
A48900But if Mr. Reynolds, in your Opinion, was misled by corrupt Ends, or secular Interest; what do you think of a Prince now living?
A48900But if all Men have not Reason and sound Judgment, will Punishment put it into them?
A48900But is it to all those competent, i. e. sufficient means?
A48900But is that the the thing you mean by his applying Force only to a part of his Subjects?
A48900But is yours more practicable?
A48900But let us hear your Reason, For what Rule is there that expresses the Particulars that agree with it?
A48900But let us take it so for once, what then is your Answer?
A48900But must it be expected, that therefore they should all be of one Mind in things not necessary to Salvation?
A48900But next, are these Creeds in the Words of the Scripture or not?
A48900But pray, Sir, are there no Conformists that so reject the ● … ue Religion?
A48900But the Question in debate is, as you put it, Whether any body has a Right to use Force in Matters of Religion?
A48900But then I would fain know, why the same kind of Vsefulness, joined with the like Necessity, will not as well do it in the case before us?
A48900But then you will ask, Is it not this Vsefulness and Necessity that gives this Power to the Father and Mother?
A48900But then you will be asked again, Whether you know that he did those Miracles, as well as those who saw them done?
A48900But to conclude this great Accusation of yours: If you were not conscious to your self of some Tendency that way, why such an Out ● … ry?
A48900But to this you give a very ready Answer; Would you have the Magistrate punish all indifferently, those who obey the Law as well as them that do not?
A48900But what if after all, now you should be found to prevaricate?
A48900But what if all the means that can, be not used for their Instruction?
A48900But what if he misapplies it to bring Men to a False Religion?
A48900But what if they hold nothing, but what that other differing National Church does, shall they be nevertheless punished if they conform not?
A48900But what is that to my Question?
A48900But what is this I find here?
A48900But what need of Force or Punishment for this?
A48900But what then?
A48900But where is the publick Law?
A48900But who told you that the Majority of Mankind should ever be brought into the strait way, and narrow Gate?
A48900But whoever is to be Judg of what is sound or decent in the case, I ask, Of what Vse and Necessity is it to impose Creeds and Ceremonies?
A48900But why, I pray, all this boggling, all this loose talking, as if you knew not what you meant, or durst not speak it out?
A48900But why?
A48900But, Sir, I ask you who must be Judg, what is for the spiritual and eternal Good of his Subjects, the Magistrate himself or no?
A48900But, said my Friend, who shall be Judg whether he be in the right or no?
A48900By this Rule of yours, how long was there need of Miracles to make Christianity subsist and prevail?
A48900By whom?
A48900Can any one be saved without imbracing the one only true Religion?
A48900Christ commanded simply to baptize in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; but the signing of the Cross, how came that necessary?
A48900Convenient for what?
A48900Could he have done better?
A48900Could not our Saviour impower his Apostles to denounce or inflict Punishments on careless or obstinate Unbelievers, to make them hear and consider?
A48900Did he do it without being convinc''d that that was the right?
A48900Did the Christian Magistrates ever do so, who thought it necessary to support the Christian Religion by Laws?
A48900Did the Penalties laid on Nonconformity make you consider, so as to study, be convinced, and imbrace the True Religion?
A48900Did they, ever say so in those Laws?
A48900Dissenting?
A48900Do none of their Religions require the mortisying of Lusts as well as yours?
A48900Do you not now admire your own Subtilty and Acuteness?
A48900Do you then tell him which it is he must take, without Examination, and promote with Force; whether that of England, France or Denmark?
A48900Does the Scripture say any thing of this?
A48900For I ask you, since you lay so much stress to so little purpose on HUMANE Means, is some Humane Means necessary?
A48900For I ask you, to what Purpose do you use any Degree of Force?
A48900For can you say, if Punishments are to be used to prevail on any, that the greater will( where lower fail) prevail on none?
A48900For does any one ever judg insincerely for himself, that he needs Penalties to make him judg more sincerely for himself?
A48900For else what have we to do with HUMANE in the case?
A48900For if they be true, what Pretence is there for Force to bring Men who are of them to the true Religion?
A48900For if they be, why does not the Magistrate punish Envy, Hatred, and Malice, and all Uncharitableness?
A48900For what does any Man mean by sufficient Evidence, but such as will certainly win Assent where- ever it is duly considered?
A48900For what greater advantage can be given them, than to teach, that one may know the True Religion?
A48900For what, I beseech you?
A48900For what?
A48900For will it not be Impiety to say, that God hath left Mankind unfurnished of competent, i. e. sufficient Means for what is absolutely necessary?
A48900Force must have been applied to them, what therefore in the Primitive Church was to be done to them?
A48900Force, you say, is necessary: what Force?
A48900From any body?
A48900From whom?
A48900Give me leave therefore to ask, how it does it?
A48900Has God revealed it in his Word?
A48900Has it been revealed to you in particular?
A48900Have no Dissenters considered of Religion?
A48900Have they considered and examined enough, if they are satisfied themselves where the Truth lies?
A48900Have those Ministers any other Religion to teach, than what is contained in the Scriptures?
A48900Have you never heard of such a thing as the Religion establish''d by Law?
A48900He instituted two Rites in his Church; Can any one add any new one to them?
A48900He is to lay Penalties upon them, and continue them: How long?
A48900Here I ask you, whether any humane Power can make any thing, in its own nature indifferent, necessary to Salvation?
A48900His Providence which over- rules all Events, we ea ● … ly grant it: But why Extraordinary Providence?
A48900How far?
A48900How is it of a sudden, that they must be political Punishments?
A48900How now is it apply''d in your Method?
A48900How shall they hear without a Preacher?
A48900How was Force used?
A48900I appeal to all the World, whether this be not as just and natural a Con ● … clusion as yours?
A48900I ask whether they are not in your Opinion out of the way of Salvation, who are not joined in Communion with the true Church?
A48900I ask, Is it so decent that the Administration of Baptism, simply, as our Saviour instituted, would be indecent without it?
A48900I asked, Since great ones are unfit, what Degrees of Punishment or Force are to be used?
A48900I desire to know for what reason you except them?
A48900I only ask you, whether Force, your way applied, be able to produce them?
A48900I suppose you mean expresly forbidden, for else I might think these Words,[ Who has required this at your hands?]
A48900I will ask you now, how it can be proved that such an one is guilty of rejecting the one only true Religion?
A48900I will not trouble you here with a Question you will meet with elsewhere; Who in these Countries must be Judg of the true Religion?
A48900I would fain know then, say you, why the same Vsefulness joined wit ● … the like Necessity, will as well do in the Case before us?
A48900If Dissenting be not the Fault; is it that a Man does not examine his own Religion, and the Grounds of it?
A48900If by not certainly, you mean it may any way, or to any degree prevent, why is it not so done?
A48900If he must not, what must guide him in the punishing of some, and not of others?
A48900If it will not, as it is evident it will not, to what purpose is this said?
A48900If not being strictly necessary to Salvation, will excuse from Penalties in the one case, why will it not in the other?
A48900If not he himself, who for him?
A48900If not, why is a Word that signifies nothing put in, unless it be for a Shelter on Occasion?
A48900If one Man will not be wrought on by as little Force as another, must not greater Degrees of Force be used to him?
A48900If one should ask you how you knew it to be their Intention, can you say they ever told you so?
A48900If the Degree be too great, it will, you confess, do Harm: Can one then not err on the other hand, by using too little?
A48900If the Magistrate intended any thing more in those Laws but Consormity, would he not have said it?
A48900If the Magistrate may punish any one for not being of the True Religion, must the Magistrate judg what is that True Religion or no?
A48900If therefore the Religion of Dissenters from the true, be a Fault to be punish''d by the Magistrate; Who is to judg who are guilty of that Fault?
A48900If they answered, in other Places, to what were found in these, as ● … hat reason is there to suppose they should not?
A48900If they are not the Ends, why does the Punishment cease when those Ends are attain''d?
A48900If they did, were not those, who persisted in Unbelief, guilty of a Fault?
A48900If they do not reject the Truth necessary to Salvation, why do you punish them?
A48900If they had not so considered in our Days, what, according to your Scheme, must have been done to them, that did not consider as they ought?
A48900If this be not to compel them to the Magistrate''s Religion, pray tell us what is?
A48900If you are not, you must bethink your self how to answer that old Question, — Sed quis custodiet 〈 ◊ 〉 Custodes?
A48900If you can not lay your Hand on your Heart, and say all this, What then will be got by the change?
A48900If you can shew no such place, do you not vouch Experience where you have none?
A48900If you say it is for want of Consideration, must not your Remedy of Force be used to bring them to it?
A48900If you say it is his Duty to be of it first; why then is not ● … orce used to him afterwards, though he be still ignorant and unconvinced?
A48900If you say then, that by desperately perverse and obstinate, you mean incurable; I ask you again by what incurable?
A48900If you say, Yes, he will ask you how you know it?
A48900In England, having, as you do, excluded all the Dissenters( or else why would you have them punish''d, to bring them to imbrace the true Religion?)
A48900In the Case before us, What are Men designed to be?
A48900In the next Place, what is your necessary and sufficient means for this Cure that is of absolute Necessity?
A48900In this, whether and how far any one is faulty, must be left to the Searcher of Hearts?
A48900Is a Man negligent of his Soul, and will not be brought to consider?
A48900Is he careless, and will not be at the Pains to examine Matters of Religion?
A48900Is he, I say, commission''d to make them lie, and 〈 ◊ 〉 that which they do not believe?
A48900Is it because they cease to be faulty?
A48900Is it more eligible to those who have no other Thoughts of Religion, but to be of that of their Country without any farther Examination?
A48900Is it more eligible to those who suffer by it, for following the Light of their own Reason, and the Dictates of their own Consciences?
A48900Is it not those who contract the Church of Christ within Limits of their own Contrivance?
A48900Is it of absolute necessity to be cured in all?
A48900Is it that bare Preaching will prevail on no Men?
A48900Is it to prevail with Men to do something that is in their Power, or that is not?
A48900Is it useful and necessary to all Men?
A48900Is that the Crime your Punishments are designed to cure?
A48900Is the Magistrat commonly more careful of his own, than other Men are of theirs?
A48900Is the Magistrate like to be more concern''d for it?
A48900Is the Magistrate like to be more concern''d for it?
A48900Is the Magistrate like to take more care of it?
A48900Is the Magistrate like to take more care of it?
A48900Is there no Remedy for this?
A48900Let it be so; but do the Surgeons know who has this Stone, this Aversion so, that it will certainly destroy him unless he be cut?
A48900Many are not prevail''d on by your moderate Force; What then is to be done?
A48900May a Man of no distinguishing Character be admitted to the Privilege of them?
A48900Men are to be punished: To what end?
A48900Moderate Punishments have been tried, and they prevail not; What now is to be done?
A48900Must it be the Ma istrate every- where, or the Magisrate in some Countries and not in others, or the Magistrate no- where?
A48900Must these of his Subjects be neglected, and left without the means be has Authority to procure them?
A48900Need not those of the National Church, as well as others, bring their Religion to the Bar of Reason, and give it a fair Trial there?
A48900Next I ask you, Who are in your sense the desperately perverse and obstinate?
A48900No: For what reason?
A48900Not whatever your Church or Religion be?
A48900Now if it be inquired, For what Fault Men are to be punished?
A48900Now pray what do you mean by Mankind''s being furnish''d with competent Means?
A48900Of what Use and Necessity is it among Christians that own the Scripture to be the Word of God and Rule os Faith, to make and impose a Creed?
A48900Or can it be done without any one''s judging at all?
A48900Or can they claim an Impunity by what I have said?
A48900Or can you give an Instance of any one, in whom it produced this Effect?
A48900Or else, must they be punished to make them consider and examine till they imbrace that which you chuse for Truth?
A48900Or have all Conformists considered?
A48900Or how can it be imagined, that they intend any thing but Conformity, by their use of Force; if they leave off the use of it as soon as Men conform?
A48900Or how will the Magistrate answer for it, if he use Force to make Dissenters consider, and let those of his own Church perish for want of it?
A48900Or if some that are in the way to Perdition, may be Members of the Commonwealth, why must these be excluded upon the account of Religion?
A48900Or is it more eligible to the Priests and Ministers of National Religions every- where, that the Magistrate should be vested with this Power?
A48900Or is not the Honour of God concern''d in their denying our Saviour?
A48900Or is this your way of Force and Punishment?
A48900Or last of all, Is it more eligible to all Mankind?
A48900Or must he use Force upon them too?
A48900Or was he convinc''d with Reasons and Arguments, not proper or sufficient to convince him?
A48900Ought the Magistrate to punish these?
A48900Pray what do you mean by Men, or any other of those indefinite Terms, you have always used in this Case?
A48900Preaching and Perswasion are not competent Means, you say; Why?
A48900Reasons and Arguments proper and sufficient to convince Men of the Truth of Falshood?
A48900Shall the Magistrate who is obliged to do what lies in him, be exeused, for letting him be damn''d, without the Use of all the means was in his Power?
A48900Shall we do Evil, that Good may come of it?
A48900So that Ananias and Saphira were struck dead: For what end?
A48900Take away the satisfaction of Men; Lusts, and which then, I pray, hath the advantage?
A48900That it is not easy to set Grant ● … ani Steeple upon Paul''s Church?
A48900That it is presumable that those who conform, do it upon Reason and Conviction?
A48900The Law punishes all Dissenters: For what?
A48900The Question is, How long they are to be punished?
A48900The Question is, Whether the Magistrate has any Power to interpose Force in Matters of Religion, or for the Salvation of Souls?
A48900The Words of St. Paul are these; How then shall they call on him on whom they have not believed?
A48900They may not deprive Men of their Estates; I suppose you mean their whole Estates: May they take away half, or a quarter, or an hundred ● … part?
A48900They may not maim a Man with corporal Punishments; May they use any corporal Punishments at all?
A48900They may not starve and 〈 ◊ 〉 them in noisom Prisons for Religion, that you condemn as much as I: May they put them in any Prison at all?
A48900Thirdly, How is your necessary Remedy to be applied?
A48900This Duty of Charity is well discharged by the Magistrate as Magistrate, is it not?
A48900This proving insufficient, what is the Magistrate to do?
A48900This will be still the Question, Whether the Liberty of Toleration, or the Authority of the Powers in being, contributed most to it?
A48900Those that 1 s. or 5 s. or 5 l. or 100 l. or no Fine will work upon?
A48900Those who can bear loss of Estate, but not loss of Liberty?
A48900To make them all conform, that''s evident; To what end?
A48900To my Question, In whose Hands this Right( we were a little above speaking of) was in Turkey, Persia or China?
A48900To my asking, What if God, for Reasons best known to Himself, would not have Men compell''d?
A48900To my demanding, if you meant Reasons and Arguments proper and sufficient to convince Men of the Truth, why did you not say so?
A48900To my demanding,` What if God would have Men left to their freedom in this Point, if they will hear or if they will forbear, will you constrain them?
A48900To my demanding,` What if there be other Means?
A48900To what end?
A48900To which you reply, No Sir?
A48900To your Question therefore, What is it that warrants and authorizes Schoolmasters, Tutors and Masters to use Force upon their Scholars or Apprentices?
A48900Under what King''s Reign was it, that you are so positive it could have no such Aid or Assistance?
A48900Very well; but who are those desperately perverse and obstinate, how shall we know them?
A48900Was not the great God of the Eastern Nations, Baal, or Jupiter Bel ● …, one of the first Kings of Assyria?
A48900We again ask, who are your Men of common 〈 ◊ 〉?
A48900Were Miracles so used till Force took place?
A48900Were any of the Americans of that one only true Religion, when the Europeans first came amongst them?
A48900What Commission for this hath the Magistrate from the Law of Nature?
A48900What I beseech you is the Crime here?
A48900What Necessity now is there?
A48900What Punishments I beseech you, for theirs cost them their Lives?
A48900What can be more impertinent than to vex and disease People with the Use of Force, to no purpose?
A48900What can you say but this?
A48900What do you think of Mr. Chillingworth when he left the Church of England for the Romish Profession?
A48900What do you think of one of my Pagans or Mahometans?
A48900What if I or my Readers are not so learned, as to understand either the Greek Original, or 〈 ◊ 〉 Latin Comment?
A48900What is it?
A48900What is the Obedience the Law requires?
A48900What is this necessary competent means that you tell us of?
A48900What is to be done now?
A48900What now in appearance can express greater Care to bring Men to the True Religion?
A48900What now is a proper Means to produce this?
A48900What now is the Magistrate by your Commission to do?
A48900What now is the Means to preserve True Religion in the World?
A48900What now is to be done with him?
A48900What now must be done with them?
A48900What reason have you for it?
A48900What then is to be done?
A48900What then?
A48900What think you of So ● … inians, Papists, Anabaptists, Quakers, Presbyterians?
A48900What think you of St. Athanasius''s C ● … eed?
A48900What think you of those great Numbers of Japaneses, that resisted all sorts of Torments, even to Death it self, for the Romish Religion?
A48900What two thinking Men of the Church of England are there, who differ not one from the other in several material Points of Religion?
A48900What were those other Means?
A48900What, I pray, is the Design of it?
A48900What, every one''s Fault every where?
A48900What?
A48900What?
A48900When is this End attained, and the Penalties which are the Means to this End taken off?
A48900When they as soon as any Relaxation of those Laws took off the Penalties, left again the Communion of the National Church?
A48900When was this, I b ● … eech you, that Idolatry found this Entrance into the World?
A48900Where are the Canons of this over- ruling Art to be found, to which you pay such Reverence?
A48900Where is the competent Number of Magistrates skilful in the Art, who must unanimously judg of the Disease and its Danger?
A48900Where was it question''d by the Author or me, that whoever rebell''d, were to fall under the Stroak of the Magistrate''s Sword?
A48900Whereas you your self own the Question to be, Whether the Magistrate has a Right to use Force in matters of Religion?
A48900Whether any of the Americans, before the Christians came amongst them, had offended in rejecting the true Religion tendred with sufficient Evidence?
A48900Whether in such a State they can or will think there is any need, or that it is to any purpose for them to examine?
A48900Which hath produced this warm Reply of yours; And will you ever pretend to Conscience or Modesty after this?
A48900Which the more dangerous Seducer, Lewis the XLVth with his Dragoons, or Mr. Claud with his Sermons?
A48900Which, what is it, but to punish Men barely for not being of the Magistrate''s Religion; The very thing you deny he has Authority to do?
A48900Who I beseech you is it in this Case that makes the Sect?
A48900Who bids him consider?
A48900Who can have the Heart now to deny any of this?
A48900Who dares question such a Cause, or oppose what is offered for the promoting the True Religion?
A48900Who is there almost that has not Prejudices, that he does not know to be so; and what can Force do in that Case?
A48900Who now must be Judg, in these Cases, what are convenient Penalties?
A48900Who requires it of them?
A48900Who then is Judg of what they are to be instructed in, and the Means of Instruction; but the Law- maker?
A48900Whom?
A48900Why I beseech you discourag''d, if they be true any of them?
A48900Why are Men averse to the true?
A48900Why are you so reserved in a Matter, wherein, if you speak not out, all the rest that you say will be to no purpose?
A48900Why might you not as well send them to the Scriptures, as to the Ministers and Teachers of the true Religion?
A48900Why should not the care of every Man''s Soul be left to himself, rather than the Magistrate?
A48900Why then do you so s ● … riously bemoan the loss of them?
A48900Why then does not the true Religion prevail against the false, having so much the advantage in Light and Strength?
A48900Why then, I pray, is it a more competent Means than Preaching, or why necessary, where Preaching prevails not?
A48900Why was Modesty and Conscience call''d in Question?
A48900Why?
A48900Why?
A48900Why?
A48900Will Men, against the Light of their Reason, do violence to their Understandings, and for sake Truth, and Salvation too, gratis?
A48900Will Punishment make Men know what is Reason and sound Judgment?
A48900Will it follow from thence, that no good can be done by Penalties upon others, who are not so far gone in Wickedness and Obstinacy?
A48900Will that serve the turn?
A48900Will the examining the Controversy between the Magistrate and the Dissenting Subject, in this case, bring him to the Knowledg of the Truth?
A48900Will these Immoralities by the Names any one shall give, or forbear to give to them, become Articles of Faith, or Ways of Worship?
A48900Will you doubt his Sincerity, or that he was convinced of the Truth of the Religion he professed, who ventured Three Crowns for it?
A48900Will you say the Magistrate is less expos''d in Matters of Religion, to Prejudices, Humours, and crafty Seducers, than other Men?
A48900Without Excuse, to whom I beseech you?
A48900Would you be for punishing some body, you know not whom?
A48900Would you have him punish all, indifferently?
A48900Yet 58 2 will not 69 8 give in to 71 13( for   17 himself) it 83 15 munion, excluding 108 34 named, it will 110 28 nishments?
A48900You ask me, Whether the Mildness and Gentleness of the Gospel destroys the coactive Power of the Magistrate?
A48900You ask what Means is there left?
A48900You tell me, in the same place, I was impertinent in my Question,( which was this, For what then are they to be punish''d?)
A48900and ought not the Magistrates of all Countries to take Care that it should be so?
A48900and shew a Willingness not to doubt, where you have no Assurance?
A48900and whether there can be any true Church without Bishops?
A48900and would you have them punished too, as you here profess?
A48900any thing that any worthy Clergyman that adorns his Function is concerned in?
A48900at least can you be sure of it till they have been tried for the compassing these End?
A48900by your lower Degrees of Force?
A48900corrupt, and will not part with his Lusts, which are dearer to him than his First- born?
A48900i ask you again; Are Penalties necessary because the End could not be obtain''d by Preaching, without them?
A48900if not, how can the Magistrate impose them?
A48900in bringing Men to an outward Profession of any, even of the true Religion, and leaving them there?
A48900obstinate, and will not imbrace the Truth?
A48900or all this, but not loss of Life?
A48900or loss of Liberty and Estate, but not corporal Pains and Torments?
A48900shall I fall down to that which comes of a Plant?
A48900that of the Church of England?
A48900that the Magistrate is like to be more concerned for other Mens Souls than themselves,& c.) What then will be got by the Change?
A48900that they come duly to the Church, and how their Heads to the Priests?
A48900that when gentle Admonitions and earnest Intreaties will not prevail, what other means is there left but Force?
A48900that you can not say, for Grace co- operating with Preaching will prevail; Are Penalties then necessary as sure to produce that End?
A48900them that obey the Law, as well as them that do not?
A48900unless you can shew us, that God hath promised the Co- operation and Assistance of his Grace to Force, and not to Preaching?
A48900where Men are not furnish''d with this Means to bring them to the True Religion?
A48900which of my Pagans or Mahumetans would have done otherwise?
A48900who by Articles and Ceremonies of their own forming, separate from their Communion all that have not Perswasions which just jump with their Model?
A48900who can doubt but that there those who talk so much of it, are in earnest?
A48900who denies it him?
A48900why one Doctrine of the Scripture put into the Creed and Articles, and another as sound left out?
A48900you and your Magistrates?
